 Welcome to Straight from City Hall, the official blog for the City of Cleveland – a direct line of communication from Mayor Frank G. Jackson’s office to you – Cleveland’s residents, workforce, businesses, visitors and friends and family near and far.We will provide you with information on all that is happening in Cleveland today…from updates on the groundbreaking educational reform happening in Cleveland’s schools to our growing sustainable economy, neighborhood revitalization projects, city services and the more than $7 billion in economic development projects that are in the works. 

We will post regularly about our successes and our challenges; why we do what we do and how it all comes together to make Cleveland stand out as a place to live, work and do business.

As Mayor Jackson said at his first inauguration:

“We must make Cleveland a city that does not imitate others – but a city that makes people say – let us go to Cleveland and learn what they are doing.”
