Dear Director Ronayne,

I received your letter announcing the intention of the City of Cleveland Department of Parks and Recreation Properties to pursue the development of d dog park/run at Tremont's Clark Field. I realize that this decision was not made is haste, rather was carefully deliberated over and researched. I thank you for allowing the community to weigh-in with their opinions on this matter. The Tremont West Development Corporation supports and respects your decision and will work with the Parks Department to make this premier dog park/run a veritable asset in the City of Cleveland.

The mission of Tremont West Development Corporation is to maintain and improve the living, business and cultural conditions for all of Tremont. Your commitment to making the parks within our neighborhood first rate, well equipped and programmed parks, helps us fulfill our mission. We thank you for your partnership and look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.

Sincerely,

Colleen M. Gilson
