Cincinnati s director of community and economic development says some interaction between council members and her department can be inappropriate. Markiea Carter briefed members of the new Economic Development Reform Panel at its second meeting Friday.
Carter says her team has about 300 active projects at any given time, and something as simple as a council member calling to check on the status of a negotiation can influence the process. How can we ensure that that influence is not undue, or it s not impacting other projects that are just as important, but may not have that voice, Carter said.
