Great time having @chrisronayne Visit the Village! Working together towards healthy government, healthy economy & healthy community.

Great to visit the Village of Newburgh Hts & Mayor Gigi Traore @gigitraore today. Established in 1904 Newburgh Hts is home to the Audubon certified 9-hole ⛳️ course @ Washington Park & the Tiger Woods First Tee program. Visit the Village & take in the green space & century homes.

I met Paityn (and her mother) during their visit to Village Hall. Seeing her face light up and squeal in excitement reminded me of how much representation matters! Glad I was able to surprise my resident / future attorney & celebrate her 9th birthday.

[Gigi Traore @mayorgigitraore]

Thank you @EricGordon_CEO for "Visiting the Village" we're looking forward to building a relationship and working with Cleveland Municipal School District to serve & engage Newburgh Heights.
