Develand City

Notice the end the article says:

The state will receive $200 million in total upfront license fees from the four casinos. These funds will be directed toward job training and work-force development.

Look money for the project…..

So if you did have a project per say in your pocket per say….

I have to agree that the industry in china is a terror, it would require staffing at any factory and yeah those would have to be people that spoke both English and Chinese and very well. They would have to have a command of process engineering as well. Bilingual and APICS certification?

It could be marketed as managed services and in that major brand development and marketing.

Not an OEM model but a managed services model, taking that production and forming it into sellable models and brands. The economy of scale that could prevent any competitive price/cost cutting and if digital and well documented it could theoretical link with the government agencies, offering them digital document packet or sets of data. Its all related its all a matter of full disclosure upfront it would or should expedite imports. They fall short contemplating how to beat the system when they could or should consider assimilating to it and even advancing its accountability and development. For people by people?

Regions that have a free trade zone status and products that are well documented move unencumbered through the process, do not assume it is about palm greasing as it is more about clear and concise accountability. Digital data and coding is a root in that and then in that statistical process controls…..

Setting it up and training people to work in the systems, is both education and employment and eligible for access to the $200M in state funds.

That’s seems so real I can almost reach out and touch it.

The RTA Regional Transit Authority has contracted a consulting group to study extending commuter rail to the Randall Mall site. This is being driven by changes in the Federal Department of Transportation related to funding requirements and access to federal stimulus dollars. It shifted from justification of riders to that of requiring the project to be an economic driver. One is on site housing and the other job creation.


The Mall will likely become a start up business incubator.

The current terminus of the exiting rail line is 3.5 miles from the location, it’s a light commuter rail line that connects to the urban center and that terminus is the Terminal Tower.


This is a long term development project and the rail extension would bring it onto the radar. It would be a loop that enclosed the Mall and also encompass large multilevel parking garages. It would be a south east transit hub. But it also is an incredible amount of low cost adaptable square footage.

Other funding is available since the state has passed legislation that allows gaming in the from of casinos. Each of the four largest metropolitan areas of the state have defined parcels that will be developing casinos. In that each must contribute $50M to state funds chartered for job creation and education.

The Mall site currently has one tenant and that's the PSI Power Sport Institute which trains and certifies power sports mechanics. That school is operated by Ohio Diesel Technical College, which is considering centering its campus and dormitories at the Mall Site.

There are other educational institutions that can be brought into the project….Cuyahoga Community College offer an associates degree in Advanced Automotive technology and has a campus within two miles of the Randal mall.
The site could be a design and research center, it can house many different functional entities that could interact.

This is based on a simple premise and that being parcel analysis, each parcel of land has inherent metrics, as in values. The cycling of capital can be measured as inputs and outputs, a break even represents that of nothing lost and nothing gained. However the cycling of capital can make changes that are material as in offer impact on the metrics, however if the metrics are not readily accessible how can the actual real values or changes be measured?

The sum of all values over all parcels reflects the overall economy. That’s about land use and the productive use of land and in defining the metrics and then with that data attempting to optimize them. In that it is a matter of defining a living wage and a set of necessities as a baseline. Then in that offering a ladder and a definable path upward based on real and actual measure of ability and performance.

It is about addressing economic infeasibilities, it is about finding the breakeven and benchmarking it as a baseline, that is modest and affordable to those at that level of income and in propensity. Its about eliminating and reducing subsidization, it’s about the use of capital as a fungible resource that has to be recovered over time. Nothing is free, degrees of separation only hide the losses, in reality it can compound them.

It’s quite a quandary and not for the faint hearted.

This is devalued land and in that a great opportunity to leverage its use efficiently. Housing and employment and in ways that are different as they would have to lower the bar and fairly and consistently.

The location can offer communal education and if done correctly that can lead that into communal commerce. That’s about living and working in close proximity. Housing and transportation are key components in the total cost of living. Federal dollars paying for education not so much based on financial need but on demonstrated aptitude and ability. Then also leading those into real and actual employment. Offering low cost housing not based on need but based on demonstrated ability to meet that lowered cost. That empowers those that strive to move upward. It is about working and learning and those with the best and highest attributes can progress, it’s a call for a change to a reward based system. It's not about cutting entitlements its about redefining them and altering the economy so as to meet the actual and real needs of society in a logical progressive manor.

The simple concept of at cost housing and the leveraging of the initial capital to be recovered over time. That is nothing more then building efficiently and intelligently that which is durable and sustainable, affordable and efficient and then pricing it to recover the costs spent to build it. Nothing funded with taxes should be profitable to anyone, it should define the baseline the lowest income level met in propensity. That will lower costs and force efficiency on the rest of the markets.

Such endeavor would be metered and defined to certain defined sets of parcel of land. Taking land that offers little or no economic activity and empowering it with activity that is at a lowered cost efficient and intelligent.

It’s key to link it to public transit and also diverse commercial activity. However the wages would and should be lowered and that justified with lowered cost of on site housing.

Basically it is about a large center…that would offers all aspect of services in one big centralized facility.

Each individual manufactures brand offered electronic data services, web pages, linked to digital file management. Marketing research, Advertising and Sales, building, maintaining and supporting dealer networks. Logistic and inventory management. Technical training in products, digital documentation and support services.

A campus…..

It is not easy being me….

Sorry, MJH, but your comment here is too cryptic by half. Are you Stuart Lichter or Chris Semarjian? Or one of the commenters? I vaguely remember ideas you'd floated earlier in this thread about turning this place into some kind of motorsport paradise. Did you try to do that?

Maybe I'm just too dense.

cheers!

I cannot get all my thoughts/visions in my head on paper.


The South African is gone, he evidently did not understand the concept of a free title and bought the property with past due taxes.


I am a instigator, an admittedly relentless.


We both know your not dense.


See the first line….

Now I see this is coming back for consideration…


I would like to see the mall site developed, as a multifaceted development.
I want to see the Blue line extended to it.

I believe that making it a south eastern rail/bus transit hub would be a catalysts.
The site developed much like Crocker Park as a lifestyle center but more…..no cars only multilevel parking and NEV traversing the inner space.
