Although Public Auditorium was planned and funded prior to World War I, construction did not begin until 1920, and the building did not open until 1922. Designed by city architect J.

The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans' pension for them,and they were left to care for themselves. In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. By 1915, membership grew to 5,000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000. Since then, the VFW's voice had been instrumental in establishing the Veterans Administration, creating a GI bill for the 20th century, the development of the national cemetery system and the fight for compensation for Vietnam vets exposed to Agent Orange and for veterans diagnosed with Gulf War Syndrome. In 2008, VFW won a long-fought victory with the passing of a GI Bill for the 21st Century, giving expanded educational benefits to America's active-duty service members, and members of the Guard and Reserves, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The VFW also has fought for improving VA medical centers services for women veterans. Besides helping fund the creation of the Vietnam, Korean War, World War II and Women in Military Service memorials, the VFW in 2005 became the first veterans' organization to contribute to building the new Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial, which opened in November 2010. Annually, the nearly 2 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliaries contribute more than 8.6 million hours of volunteerism in the community, including participation in Make A Difference Day and National Volunteer Week. From providing over $3 million in college scholarships and savings bonds to students every year, to encouraging elevation of the Department of Veterans Affairs to the president's cabinet, the VFW is there.

Advocating to create film-friendly public policies: Having successfully lobbied the State of Ohio to pass the competitive Film Tax Credit in 2009, we continue to advocate for public policies that will promote and support media production. We are working closely with state officials and producers to facilitate the application process and continue to build strong relationship with public officials to work together in our economic and workforce development efforts.

The Land Bank works to advance Cuyahoga County's broad policy goals, within the prescribed perimeters of SB 353 - the State statute that allows for its existence. These goals include the revitalization of neighborhoods, the promotion of economic growth, and the creation of job and workforce development opportunities. The Land Bank is committed to the healthy, sustainable community redevelopment within Cuyahoga County. The Land Bank exhibits this ongoing commitment through efforts such as strategic blight clearance, deconstruction, the appropriate and innovative re-use of vacant land, and the use of energy efficient, green rehabilitation and new construction standards. As a non-profit government purposed entity, the Land Bank is empowered to help local governments foster effective land re-use. Put simply, the Land Bank has many of the same powers as a traditional government land bank so it can be extremely effective, but it is not hindered by as many of the traditional, bureaucratic government impediments. The net result of the structure is that it not only will be effective, but also efficient and strategic. The process of converting land to productive re-use is labor intensive and difficult in areas where there are distressed markets. But, such efforts may lead to job opportunities. Therefore, as part of its central focus, whenever feasible, the Land Bank looks to expand and create in-field job opportunities for those who need work, mindful of the many who may have some barriers to employment. Finally, through maximum collaboration with local governments, the Land Bank is positioned to promote and lift the profile of individual community priorities. This ability to cut through political boundaries, promotes regionalism and helps the collective community leverage and focus its precious resources on this important land re-use challenge rather than diluting them by spreading them too thinly and broadly.
