Fred Geis Appointed to City Planning Commission
CEA Members and Affiliates are often in the spotlight for their contributions to the industry. This week, Michelle Jarboe of The Plain Dealer reports on Fred Geis' (Geis Companies) recent appointment by Mayor Frank Jackson:
One of the city's most prominent real estate developers is preparing to take a seat on the Cleveland City Planning Commission, the public body that reviews project proposals and establishes sweeping plans for development."
Geis, who is 57, has a background in suburban industrial real estate. Over the last decade, though, he's become a force in the city, with major investments along the Health-Tech Corridor in Midtown and a sizable downtown portfolio."
Mayor Jackson commented:
Fred Geis is a Cleveland resident and brings a perspective to the city planning commission that we have not had in the past."
