Answer from Maryann F. (Fermann) Burwinkel:

Developing Montgomery Road is a challenging procedure. First I believe a committee of interested people must be formed. People from the Norwood Historical Society, people from city administration, council people (both parties represented),interested citizens. Well balanced group so that no interest or political party or group can have a majority. This committee must formulate a master plan for the length of Main Street (Montgomery Rd.)in Norwood, Ohio. Seek professional help from historical preservation professionals

Then this plan must be submitted to the Building Department, the Planning & Zoning boards, and be presented to the Community development person, and the Planing director as well as City Council. Next - both the community development person and the planning director must begin aggressively seeking developers and funds to implement this plan.

We must seek developers and fine developments for the front door of Norwood - The Pike-Montgomery Rd.-Main Street. We have been successful in finding developers for other area of Norwood, why ignore our core area.

Answer from Amy Marie Hoosier:

My top priority is productivity in City Council. I would implement this by working as a cohesive team with my fellow council members to work for Norwood's betterment and future. We cannot be productive with personal politics getting in our way. There is no place for put-downs and insults in Council. It is our duty as members of Council to move our city forward and WORK TOGETHER! This will increase our productivity and what we can accomplish for our city!
