Rep. Baker announces funding for American Greetings roadwork project

State Representative Nan Baker has announced that the State Controlling Board released $1 million to the City of Westlake for costs associated with the completion of public roadwork improvements in support of American Greetings Corporation retention project.

According to documents from the Office of Budget and Management, as a result of the project and state assistance provided, American Greetings will retain 1,750 at-risk, full-time jobs.

The new infrastructure will provide needed access to the new headquarters building of American Greetings. This will support a multimillion dollar private investment in the city that will benefit the region and state.

The new infrastructure improvements are located approximately 2,700 feet south of Detroit Road in Westlake.
