Lavea Brachman, co-director of Greater Ohio, reports the state?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s urban areas are not getting a proportionate share of the state?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s $83 million in federal stimulus money for neighborhood revitalization
Ohio?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s seven largest cities (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toldeo, Akron, Dayton, Parma) are home to universities, transportation systems and the kind of distinctive places that attract wage earners and businesses. While these cities are not large compared to Chicago or L.A. (#1 Columbus pop. is 711,470), those metropolitan areas hold 70 percent of the state?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s population and generate 80 percent of Ohio?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s gross domestic product, according to Bruce Katz, director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
Why the disparity? The Ohio House, it?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s been said, has a more urban focus, while the state senate leans more toward its rural constituents.
Katz believes Ohio should be more committed to the prosperity of its core communities, yet only half of the 200 projects getting federal stimulus money will be in those cities.
