North Olmsted is a mature, land locked suburban city located on the western edge of Cleveland, Ohio. North Olmsted has historically enjoyed a good reputation for being a well-established and favored suburb with a strong school system and strategic location, however as North Olmsted has matured it has struggled to keep up with the surrounding suburbs as a top place to live, work and play. During this planning process a number of significant events, including preparation for the city’s bicentennial, took place which has created positive momentum and energy for the city. This planning process took advantage of this special moment in time when the city is not only looking back at its rich history, but also looking forward to answer the question, “what’s next for North Olmsted?”
