At the moment, the 22nd Century Committee seems to be comprised of mostly business people.

And at the moment, this committee is focused strictly on downtown Toledo, which, I'm guessing, is an area of maybe two square miles in a city that is about 88 square miles in size.

It's not a Toledo thing. It's a narrowly-focused downtown Toledo idea. And that's fine.

Past ideas, initiatives, plans, committees, orgs, studies, etc. that went nowhere focused on various areas: downtown Toledo, all of Toledo, Lucas County, and the region.

Maybe this new narrowly-focused plan can ignite business owners and leaders in other parts of Toledo to form their own committees to improve their sections of Toledo.

22nd Century West Toledo Committee. Well, a new name will be needed. I think that some orgs already exist that focus on say North Toledo or South Toledo.

As long as the politicians stay out of the way, then this new idea may have a shot.

But this is why it would be great to see Carty get elected mayor. 22nd Century Committee vs 22nd-Floor. Game on. Better than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
