- Residents expressed excitement about some of the infrastructure and community-building progress that has been made so far and were vocal about wanting to continue that momentum.
- Cleveland City Council Member Deborah Gray acknowledged the newly expanded Ward 3, saying she will need to learn the cultures of Slavic Village, noting that it is a very diverse neighborhood.
