Visit Cleveland Plus

All right Northeast Ohio! Game on! I am really excited about our new regional brand. I was lucky enough to be part of the Cleveland+ brand launch this morning.

Get this, Todd Payne, Cleveland Airport Marketing Director, and I spoke about how two great airports can collaborate to advance the economic interests of our region. Now don’t get me wrong we compete an awful lot too. Let’s face it; we are both going to work hard to inform travelers about our different offerings. We can both pitch the region however, when we are at conferences or meeting with companies who may wish to expand their presence here. That’s where Cleveland+ comes in.

The concept works hard to cover all of our cities and regional assets- whether they happen to be in Canton, Akron, Youngstown or Cleveland… or any of the fabulous cities in between. We have great attractions like the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Akron Art Museum, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Or, have you shopped at 1^st and Main in Hudson? It is so charming. You can actually get a pedicure while sipping a glass of wine. Nice.

Or how about this…did you know that there are 4 million people within 60 miles? Did you know that the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cleveland Browns are all within a 45 minute drive of Akron-Canton Airport?

This is a great place to live and work. Now we have a name. Cleveland+.

Happy New Years to my neighbors out at Akron/Canton. Continue the tremendous work you do at your airport. Most airports are jealous of how well you have grown in just a 10 year span, and will continue growing in the future. I have flown it 10+ times in the last couple years, and will continue using it.

Right now my coalition of Airport Supporters are trying to help out the struggling Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. They have done a successful job with flights to Orlando aboard Allegiant Air (ALGT-Nasdaq), but they have not done much since then.

YNG needs to look at how well CAK has done over the years and perhaps take some tips from you guys. You run a very successful operation and should be commended for IT! You earn my award for the best airport in Ohio and the best operation of any government funded operation in the region.

GOOD LUCK IN 2007!
