This week marks one year since we kicked-off our #GOPCThread series, where each week we highlight work GOPC is involved in and important issues of the day.
Some of the most popular #GOPCThreads have been those in our #OHCommunitySpotlight series, where each month we feature an Ohio community & highlight what makes each not only unique, but also inspire innovation for future improvement. They help to inspire road trips too!
Our first #OHCommunitySpotlight was @cityofSandusky, a #LegacyCity that is in the midst of implementing its bicentennial vision to make wholesale improvements throughout the community #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1306624181933662209
Continuing east along the north coast, our second #OHCommunitySpotlight was Ashtabula. Once a leading port on Lake Erie, Ashtabula has reinvented itself as a tourism destination #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1319307695086776321
In November, we took our #OHCommunitySpotlight series to Zanesville, an Ohio #LegacyCity and former state capital that has embraced its past heritage to chart a new course to the future #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1326932935686189056
2020 closed out with the #OHCommunitySpotlight series featuring Bellefontaine, where a group of local entrepreneurs are helping lead a community-wide effort to revitalize and bring new energy to their community #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1337079827094966272
We kicked-off the new year with our #OHCommunitySpotlight on Portsmouth, Ohio, a city as old as the state of Ohio and one of the state’s smallest #LegacyCities #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1352300241740046338
In February, our sixth city in the #OHCommunitySpotlight series featured Van Wert, where local leaders have made deep commitments to turn around downtown, and thus the entire city #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1362446849748185095
March 1 is Statehood Day, honoring the day in 1803 when Ohio join the Union. So, it was fitting that we next featured Chillicothe. Home of the 1st state capitol, it has done much in the past few years to diversify from its industrial past #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1375115320147447810
The Magic City was the next #LegacyCity to be featured in our #OHCommunitySpotlight series, as we highlighted some of the exciting things happening in Barberton #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1387798941660553217
Our most recent #OHCommunitySpotlight featured @CityofMiddletown, in Butler County, an Ohio #LegacyCity that has worked to reinvent itself over the past two decades #GOPCThread https://twitter.com/GreaterOhio/status/1395409087945486337
Each of these #LegacyCities are unique and important contributors of new economic activity across Ohio. Hopefully this ongoing series will inspire you to spend time visiting one or more of these towns and seeing for yourself what’s happening on the ground #GOPCThread
What will be the next #LegacyCity to be featured in our #OHCommunitySpotlight series? Stay tuned. Our next #GOPCThread just might feature a town near you. And if you want to do a guest thread on your city, let us know!
