By Tim Schneider, Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce At its regular meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 8, Toledo City Council is expected to give first reading to Ordinance 367-20 which would approve $400,000 for expanding the Cityworks PLL electronic platform for use by the Division of Building Inspection.

According to the city, expanding use to the Division will allow for a more efficient review process and facilitate planned upgrades to eventually allow for electronic submission of plans. The process to implement expansion of the platform will take between 12 and 18 months, and the city intends to move forward with adopting electronic submissions within that timeframe.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) announced last week that all mail sorting for northwest Ohio will be moved from its processing facility in Pontiac, Michigan to its processing facility in Cleveland, Ohio beginning September 16 and ending November 14. While this is a temporary decision to support prompt delivery of absentee ballots and request forms for the November election, the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce hopes it results in timely delivery of all mail and consideration for ultimately re-establishing processing services in Toledo.

Through Aug. 9, Ladies Professional Golf Association pros will converge upon northwest Ohio to compete in the 2020 Marathon LPGA Classic presented by Dana at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.
