Here's an August 2007 Toledo Talk posting titled Flags Fly in Support of Regional Identity that excerpted from an older article.
"Lake Erie West has the potential to be an enormously powerful marketing tool for the region, which is unlike any other region in the world," adds Township Trustee Jim Schwerkoske. "This time-based concept has been underutilized until recently and is just starting to take off, as people realize and understand the power and benefits of Lake Erie West as a global address and identity."
Gary Madrzykowski, director of the Olander Park System and member of the Sylvania Community Development Corp., agrees. "Modern technology makes the world a smaller place every day, which means that regional communities need to market their entire area to the global market," Madrzykowski explains. "Lake Erie West, by its very description, provides that type of growth and economic development for our area."posted by jr on Mar 01, 2008 at 03:52:52 pm #
