Fitzgerald says plans for medical mart have NOT changed
Posted: 10/14/2011
CLEVELAND - Cuyahoga County Executive Ed Fitzgerald says the basic business plan for the medical mart has not changed significantly, despite recent published reports to the contrary.
Controversy began to brew after reports indicated the plan had shifted from the sale of medical products to educational services.
Fitzgerald held a meeting today with the Medical Mart's leadership team.
"What they have assured us is that any space they end up using for local educational institutions, whether it's Cleveland State or Case or Tri-C or whatever it is, it will not take away from the fundamental mission of providing space for medical equipment," said Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald went on to say the basic plan is still sound, and everyone is committed to making it work. The Medical Mart and Convention Center project is scheduled for completion in September 2013.
