Editorial: More housing needed in area
The headlines converging on the news pages of The Blade tell a compelling story on the complex problem that government, business, and community leaders must work together to solve. Both the city of Toledo and Lucas County are wrestling with severe budget problems that force austerity measures that can only be solved in the long run by economic growth. Read more Blade editorials Six decades of population loss makes holding existing residents and attracting new arrivals the most important priority for Toledo. The first BuildToledo Developer Summit held Wednesday shows deep understanding that affordable housing is the key to success on the goal of growth. The event also illustrates the high hurdle for development caused by aging property and constrained local incomes. “I know one of the things that is going to come up from all the developers is that it costs more to build in Toledo than any other large city in Ohio, yet our rents are much lower than anywhere else,” Joe Marck of IBC Properties said as part of a panel detailing the challenges confronting Toledo developers. Toledo can’t quickly make it more profitable to build in the city, but it can make it much easier as

Editorial: Trust a must in Monclova plan
The plans to create a new $21 million manufacturing facility in Monclova Township — under a tax sharing agreement with Maumee and Toledo — show the enduring value that regional cooperation can have. It also illustrates how common it is for negotiations over industrial development to take place, with the public kept in the dark as to the nature of the manufacturing. Obviously, voters have to trust the judgment of their elected representatives. As reported in Thursday’s Blade by Alice Momany, an unnamed company will make an unnamed product in a new facility that will be incentivized by state funds. When this is project is done, there will be a new manufacturing company and an additional 45-acre parcel teed up for more such development. What we know is that the city of Toledo council has an ordinance that will create a funding mechanism to extend Riverfort Drive in Monclova Township and build utilities to support the new business. It is not an existing Toledo-based company, and if this agreement is successful, it will create 95 new jobs within the zone, and generate approximately $6.4 million in annual payroll. The cost of the roadway and utilities improvements is estimated at $1.58
