Fred Guerra

Outstanding Leader in Revitalization

Fred Guerra has been recognized for his outstanding leadership for his role in helping Cuyahoga Falls in their revitalization process. Numerous studies and active public participation have seen Cuyahoga Falls downtown be listed on the National Register, implement a Certified Local Government Program (CLG), start 7 historic tax credit projects, and enter into the Ohio Main Street Program family. But the most dramatic change has been the re-opening of Front Street, which had been closed for 40 years. The reopening of Front Street has benefitted businesses and residents, enabling them to use their downtown again. Under Fred’s leadership, the city is on a clear path to success.
