Business is booming in MidTown, from restaurants and new office developments to historic redevelopment and premier healthcare providers.

The Agora Complex is home to offices and a new restaurant. There’s a new police station and plans to create plenty of green space.
“MidTown’s right in the middle between downtown and University Circle,” says Dan Fashimpaur, the chair of MidTown Cleveland’s board of trustees. “It’s becoming more of an attractive area. And we’re setting the table for a lot more aggressive growth going forward.”
In preparation of that aggressive growth, MidTown has assembled a search committee to find its next executive director. “We’re looking for a high-powered, energetic individual who’s going to fight fires,” says Fashimpaur. “We need someone who is going to establish relationships with the city and foundations. Someone who thinks outside of the box to scale growth in MidTown.”
The executive director will be responsible for community engagement and collaboration; strategy development; performance management; finance; and fund development.
