Three health systems in Northeast Ohio will receive a multimillion dollar cut of the Medicare costs each helped the federal government save in 2015 by providing more coordinated care to seniors — a feat fewer than a third of the participating accountable care organizations nationwide were able to achieve. Summa Health, which was the only area system to receive a bonus payment last year as part of the Medicare shared savings program, is joined this year by Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals in collecting the payments for helping the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reign in health care costs. The Clinic, the region’s largest health system, received by far the largest payout, and will receive roughly $16.6 million for achieving a savings rate of 5.36%. The Medicare Shared Savings Program is perhaps the most wellknown ACO program, which are typically designed to reward organizations that provide highquality, coordinated care at a controlled cost. That’s far different from the traditional reimbursement models across most health care programs that simply pay out based on how many services are rendered. SEE ACO, PAGE 20

Cancellation paints NFL into a corner

Fans still expected a game even after the decision was made, attorney Michael Avennatti said.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s public relations nightmare — aka, the 2016 Hall of Fame Game — isn’t going away. And if Michael Avenatti gets his wish, the case of the canceled preseason contest between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts will be heard in California, with thousands of fans on board. The Newport Beach attorney dis-

missed the initial lawsuit he filed in Cleveland and refiled it in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco. That court, sports law expert Daniel Wallach said, “is the most class-friendly circuit court in the country.” Avenatti said “hundreds” of plaintiffs are already involved in a lawsuit he is trying to get certified as a classaction complaint against the NFL and the Hall of Fame. But the potential pool is more than 22,000 deep — the total number of ticket-holders for the Aug. 7 exhibition in Canton. Those who were at the game that

day weren’t officially told that it was canceled because of poor field conditions until about 8 p.m., when the exhibition had been scheduled to kick off. Nearly an hour earlier, at 7:08, the NFL announced on social media that the game had been canceled. Thus, many fans that night were alerted to the news via Twitter or Facebook. And quite a few, according to an Indianapolis Star column written by Greg Doyel, didn’t know until the columnist told them in the minutes leading up to the scheduled kickoff. SEE NFL, PAGE 9

EDUCATION

Report outlines hospitality gap By RACHEL ABBEY MCCAFFERTY rmccafferty@crain.com @ramccafferty

Universities have always been focused on serving both students and employers, and a recent report from the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education wants to ensure they’re doing that effectively. NOCHE last week released a report looking at the performance of the public and private colleges and

universities in their 23-county region. One of the areas it looked at was whether the degrees and certificates being granted matched up with the job openings in the region. The science isn’t perfect: The data compiled by Emsi use the number of completed certificates or degrees from 2013 and the number of job openings from 2015, the most recent data sets available for each. But, assuming there were no drastic changes, it gives an idea of which industry segments in the region have

the biggest gaps between supply and demand. One of the areas where the report indicated a gap between graduates and job openings was the “personal and culinary services” category. That category ranges from jobs at funeral parlors to those at beauty salons to anyone employed in the culinary industry, said Shara Davis, dean of research, institutional effectiveness and public services at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, in an email.

Long view is working for city’s land bank By JAY MILLER jmiller@crain.com @millerjh

It’s a thankless task. But if older, built-out cities are to compete for the attention of businesses scouting for a place for a new plant or building, someone has to be responsible for cleaning up after old properties are demolished, preparing them for new development. Few companies are willing to wait a few years and take on the financial risk involved in buying an environmental can of worms. And city governments aren’t designed to be real estate speculators. Unless they own a land bank like the Cleveland Industrial Commercial Land Bank. As a result, the city of Cleveland appears to be doing better than most urban centers that are struggling to turn contaminated commercial and industrial land back into productive properties. Evans Paull, a partner in Redevelopment Economics, a Baltimore urban redevelopment consultancy, has described the Cleveland land bank as “a proactive approach to reusing properties with serious real estate obstacles, such as environmental contamination and/or economic hardships. “This land bank provides the opportunity for the city to strategically assemble properties to attract businesses and create long-term economic and community investments,” he wrote in Renewal & Redevelopment, a publication of the Association for Redevelopment Initiatives. Last year, it was land from the land bank that University Hospitals

agreed to acquire so it could build the UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children along Euclid Avenue at East 59th Street in the Midtown neighborhood. The hospital will purchase at least 4.5 acres, with the Geis Cos. using the rest of the 10-acre site for the Link59 Campus, an expansion of its Midtown Technology Park on the other side of Euclid. The city estimates the project will employ more than 200 people. Cleveland acquired the Midtown property, the former site of the Ohio Knitting Mills building, in 2009 after a tech center proposal there flopped. “It’s been a great tool to be able to assemble and hold land and attract development to Midtown,” said Jeff Epstein, executive director of MidTown Cleveland Inc., a community development nonprofit. “Keeping parcels in public or nonprofit hands can stimulate development by keeping land prices reasonable and avoiding fractured ownership.”

Playing the long game In total, the city has cleaned up 125 acres of what was otherwise undevelopable land. Among the successes are a new shopping center in the Glenville neighborhood that is being developed on the site of an abandoned supermarket; the site of the former Ward Baking Co. plant on Chester Avenue that has become the Third District Police Station; and what’s called the Trinity site at West 92nd Street and Detroit Avenue that is planned to be the new home of the city kennel. The city’s economic development department is working to get cityowned land on Crescent Avenue near the old Cuyahoga River channel ready for an expansion by the Great

The 23-acre former Midland Steel site, located at 10615 Madison Ave. in Cleveland, was put up for sale by the city in 2013. (Stan Bullard) Lakes Towing Co. The city also is negotiating with Empire Paving, a locally owned and operated paving contractor, to purchase and redevelop property at 2910 West Third St. from the land bank for a new asphalt facility. The city has built a land bank account with about a dozen parcels of land. But it’s not a strategy a private developer could follow successfully. The city, unlike a developer, plays a longer game than a developer. The city sold the land for University Hospital’s Midtown complex for $1.9 million, or $174,000 an acre, less than the $3 million it took to clean it up. A private developer would walk away from that kind of financial outcome. But Tracey Nichols, director of Cleveland’s economic development department, believes landbanking properties is important for the city.

Nichols said turning a contaminated property that may be a health hazard, doesn’t pay any taxes and requires upkeep eventually pays off when it starts paying property taxes and it’s filled with workers who pay income taxes. “It’s taking a long-term view of our resources to benefit the community,” Nichols said. “These things take a little bit of time.”

A tougher future It has become more difficult for Nichols to add to the land bank, though. Until 2013, the state of Ohio had a program called the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund that offered grants to cities or counties to clean up problem properties. When JobsOhio took over the state’s economic development incentive programs, it trimmed back on brownfield cleanup. To be eligible for state

cleanup funding, a city now needs to show JobsOhio that there is an end user attached to it. A city like Cleveland, though, needs to have an inventory of cleaned-up properties on the shelf for when a site selector is scouting for a client who doesn’t want to wait and has a handful of real estate brokers ready to sell him former cornfields. The end of the Clean Ohio program leaves Nichols with only a few sources of funding for properties that could be land banked, including tax increment financing and federal redevelopment loans. But those are loans that require payback, not grants. That makes it harder to do cleanup on properties that will sit in the land bank unsold. Joseph Koncelik, an environmental attorney with the Cleveland law firm Tucker Ellis LLP, is disappointed that the state curtailed its cleanup grant program. “That was a great tool to get brownfield property cleaned up,” he said. But he believes the landbanking of properties continues to be an important program for the city. “I’m confident they will be sold over time and certainly they are far more marketable having gone through the cleanup programs,” said Koncelik, who writes the Ohio Environmental Blog at www.ohioenvironmentallawblog.com. “You can question the success because the properties haven’t been sold yet, so therefore the program isn’t successful,” he said. “Well, (the city) still took active control of the sites and cleaned them up, so for the land bank cleanup’s impact on the city standpoint from a public health standpoint, it was a success.”

Karen McGuire described it as an “oh my goodness” moment. A few years ago, she received the results of an experiment designed to test whether the gel that she and her colleagues created might actually be able to heal wounds. And the results were good: The mice in the experiment received wounds that would typically take 14 days to heal. But when the liquid crystal-based gel was applied, the wounds closed in five to seven days, McGuire said. That’s when she decided to approach her colleagues about starting a business. That business, BioMendics LLC, has lined up about $7 million in capital from 30 individual investors, including Bob Hurwitz, who’s best known as one of the founders of OfficeMax. BioMendics has already received about a third of that money, and the rest will be released as it completes more animal trials. It also recently raised $250,000 from JumpStart, a nonprofit that works with local entrepreneurs. Hurwitz, the largest investor, now serves as chairman of BioMendics. So what drove him to back the company — and recruit so many other investors to do the same? For one, not only did the TegaSure gel produce strong results in its first test, but Hurwitz noted that the technology could possibly be used to treat other conditions. BioMendics, which is based in the REDIzone business incubator at Northeast Ohio Medical University, is already in the early stages of developing topical drugs for hair loss, psoriasis and acne, but the potential is even broader. The molecule at the heart of the TegaSure gel was designed to mimic resveratrol, a molecule in peanuts and grapes that some researchers say helps prevent and fight cancer. And on its website, BioMendics says that TegaSure has antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-in-

Bob Hurwitz and Karen McGuire (Contributed photo) flammatory properties. Despite the technology’s promise, Hurwitz admits that investing in pharmaceutical startups is always risky. Lots of drugs do well in animal tests only to fail when tested on humans. But he also noted that BioMendics’ four founders — all Ph.D scientists — understand the technology well. Three of them are retired and serve in an advisory role. The fourth, McGuire, is a highly coachable CEO, Hurwitz said. He first saw her give a presentation about the company at a JumpStart event designed to link experienced business people with local entrepreneurs in need of a mentor. Hurwitz said that, afterward, he “made a beeline to her desk.” McGuire, 33, admits that she has a lot to learn from Hurwitz. After all, she hadn’t planned on becoming an entrepreneur. After earning her biomedical engineering degree from the University of Toledo in 2006, McGuire was hired as a technician in the lab of Chun-che Tsai, a now-retired chemistry and biochemistry professor at Kent State University. It was a good career move, to say the least: Through that job, she got to know the three researchers who would become her cofounders: Tsai; James Jamison, a cell biologist who previously conducted research at Summa Health System; and Jack Summers, who spent more than 20

years serving as chairman of NEOMED’s department of urology. They worked together on other drugs, such as a liquid crystal-based cancer drug called Apatone, before starting BioMendics. The seed for the company was planted roughly seven years ago, during a group conversation about an experiment Tsai had led earlier in his career. The experiment was supposed to determine whether a different liquid crystal compound could be used to fight herpes. The mice it was tested on had the virus inserted into deep scratches in their skin. But photos from the experiment made it look like the scratches were healing faster than expected. “I was like, ‘Are you seeing what I’m seeing?’ ” McGuire said. The group incorporated BioMendics in November 2014, and a month later the company won a $25,000 grant from the Innovation Fund at Lorain County Community College. While making a pitch for that grant, McGuire met officials from JumpStart and NEOMED’s REDIzone incubator. The company moved into the incubator about a year ago, with the help of an investment from Summers and a small loan from Hurwitz. They’re currently conducting one pig study at NEOMED, and through a third-party company, they’ve completed another pig study and are about to start a toxicology study involving pigs and rats. Evidence collected so far suggests that the gel doesn’t bother the skin, McGuire said. “We were on par with baby shampoo,” she said. So why start a company? Why not just license out the technology, like they did with Apatone more than a decade ago? McGuire noted that she wants to do everything she can to ensure that the new technology makes it to the market. One reason why: She feels an obligation to her cofounders. After all, they listened to her ideas, and when she was too broke to pay for graduate school, they helped her get a five-year stipend that allowed her to do research while earning a Ph.D in cellular and molecular biology from Kent State. And those cofounders — especially Tsai — spent many years doing the research that laid the groundwork for BioMendics. “I didn’t want to see 30, 40 years of Dr. Tsai’s work just languish and get forgotten about,” she said.

What’s widely considered the first major reform of any environmental law in nearly 20 years is raising some big questions for companies that use, manufacture, process or import chemicals in the United States. And for a region like Northeast Ohio, where the business sector is deeply connected to manufacturing and polymer industries, reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act could have major business implications. While the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act that President Barack Obama signed into law in June to set that reform into motion is generally considered good for both industry and the environment, there will be more questions than answers for some time. But Cleveland attorneys are trying to make as much sense of it as they can as their manufacturing clients look for guidance. The new law does several things, notes Christopher Jones, a Cleveland environmental layer with Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP. The top concern is how those things will be implemented. “You’re looking at five to six years before there’s a direct impact to the marketplace,” said Jones, a former director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. “We have to see how all this works before we can really react. And I think that’s where people are right now.” The ability to clearly predict how manufacturers will truly be affected at this point is tough because there are so many moving pieces, said Allen Kacenjar, a Cleveland environmental lawyer with Squire Patton Boggs. Overall, the reform creates longsought uniformity in the law. “(The Ohio Chemistry Technology Council) sees the legislation as a win for both industry and the environment,” said Jenn Klein, president of the OCTC, which advocates for the state’s chemical technology sector. “The business of chemistry now has

a strong national chemical regulatory program that removes bureaucratic hurdles that impede growth and increases consumer confidence in the safety of chemicals.” It’s sure to have a great impact on Ohio, and not just for chemical manufacturers. “The business of chemistry touches more than 96% of all manufactured goods,” Klein said. “Chemical manufacturers in Ohio, which employ more than 43,000 residents, will have peace of mind that they can rely on a strong national regulatory program with greater certainty and not worry about having to comply with a patchwork of state regulations.” That’s the perk of having one set of laws instead of ones that vary from state to state. But there’s much more that could impact manufacturers who make and use chemicals.

New assessments Among various components, the new law mandates the EPA evaluate existing chemicals for safety with clear and enforceable deadlines; establishes a new risk-based safety standard, increases transparency for chemical information; and provides a consistent source of funding for the EPA to carry out these new responsibilities. Whether the funding being considered will be enough to effectively meet the new goals, and how much cost might be passed on to manufacturers in these review processes, is a matter of concern for some, experts say. For starters, the EPA has to establish a list of chemicals it will evaluate proactively for safety. Jones said the EPA is expected to prioritize for assessment in the near term 10 out of thousands of chemicals currently used. Those are supposed to be picked within 180 days of the law’s passing, with 20 reviewed in about the first three years or so. If a chemical is deemed to pose an “unreasonable” risk people, Jones said, that will set into motion efforts to mitigate those risks. That level of risk also reflects a new and tighter level of scrutiny.

Those mitigating efforts could include phase outs, bans or other control plans, which in turn creates an air of uncertainty that has some manufacturers concerned, Jones said — and understandably so. A ban alone could have major impacts to a manufacturing process. Just think of when asbestos was banned. “If you start thinking about what could happen if the EPA assesses those, people who make those chemicals, or use them as components in products like paint or sunscreen, are concerned,” Kacenjar said. “There could be tort ramifications if the EPA deems a product we’re using to be unsafe. That’s one aspect that’s unnerving to some and generating a lot of interest and calls to our offices.” The EPA also is charged with effectively resetting the chemical inventory by collecting information from anyone who makes chemicals, so this master list contains only chemicals people are using today. It’s an “enormous” task the EPA will be handing down to individual companies, Kacenjar said, putting pressure on them to fully report what chemicals they use and how. That can be quite an undertaking for a large company. “There’s an enormous amount of information that needs to be collected and shared,” he said, “and everyone in the game will have to invest resources to understand and meet these changes. There’s going to be a real process cost with that.”

‘Get your ducks in a row’ The new assessments, which place more burdens on the companies themselves, could slow the entry of new chemicals to the market. Under the old rule, the EPA evaluated a chemical to determine compliance costs of regulating a new chemical. The idea was to make regulations that caused the least burden to companies — a business-friendly approach versus an environmental or health-focused one, in effect. The new law allows the EPA to consider those economic effects, but requires restrictions be based on environmental, health and safety impacts. What this means, Jones explains, is that the burden of making sure a chemical is truly safe shifts to the business instead of the government. With the old rule, if the EPA couldn’t make a determination that a chemical was unsafe in about 90 days, it could be marketed. Now, a company looking to introduce a new chemical will want to make sure that level of safety is achieved before getting an EPA review not beholden to an expedited timeframe. “That will be good for health and the environment,” Jones said. “But if the EPA can’t move these evaluations through the process quickly, it’s a potential bottleneck for people trying to bring something new to the market.” If you’re a manufacturer, the takeaway from all this is to truly and comprehensively understand what you’re making — if you don’t already — legal experts say, even though it will take years to see how the new law affects the manufacturing sector in the long run. So companies should be preparing now. “Get your ducks in a row,” Kacenjar said. “Assess your data and the chemicals you make. Bad things probably can and will happen under this new regime to those who don’t pay attention.”

Kelley & Ferraro will move to Flats in 2017 By STAN BULLARD sbullard@crain.com @CrainRltywriter

Prominent asbestos litigation firm Kelley & Ferraro LLP plans to exit the 22nd floor of Key Tower next year for the former corporate headquarters of OM Group on the 13th floor of Cleveland’s newest office building, Ernst & Young Tower, at 950 Main Ave. in the Flats. John Martin Murphy, an equity partner who runs Kelley & Ferraro’s Cleveland office, said the firm will assume the 10-year balance on OM Group’s lease with the building through a sublease. OM Group, after being purchased in 2015 by three Apollo Management Group invest-

ment firms, was renamed Vectra, and the chemical firm’s headquarters was moved to St. Louis. “It’s a fantastic space,� Murphy said in a phone interview. “The sightlines are such that I can offer all of our lawyers and support staff lake views. We’re the beneficiary of OM Group being bought out. We’re getting great space for less than Vectra pays for it.� Neither Murphy nor Robert Roe, a JLL brokerage managing director who represented Kelley & Ferraro, would disclose the rent. Kelley & Ferraro is exiting Key Tower for more than a better lake and Cuyahoga River view. Murphy said the firm had been unable to strike a deal with Key Tower owner Columbia Property Trust for dif-

ferent space in the building. Moreover, he said he and John Ferraro, the firm’s Miami-based managing partner, had been chagrined to learn that the firm could not renew its current lease for 10 years. It could renew only for five years because the real estate investment trust had given Baker & Hostetler, which moved into six floors of the building early this year, an option to expand onto Kelley & Ferraro’s floor. “Obviously I was not too happy about that,� Murphy said. “I’m glad we are able to lock in our rent for 10 years at E&Y. Given what’s going on in Cleveland, I worried about facing significantly higher rents if we had to go out in the market in just five years. We also gained 65 parking spots when we couldn’t get two

more convenient spaces at Key.� Most of the well-appointed design OM Group had for its corporate headquarters will remain intact. Murphy said Kelley & Ferraro will add five offices in a training room and another corner of the building because it needs 18 window offices for lawyers. “We’re gaining another 5,000 square feet, so we’ll have more room to breathe and add more glass partitions to give it a contemporary law firm flair,� Murphy said. “We’ll have an unbelievable lunch room.� The firm will occupy 27,000 square feet at E&Y, compared with 22,000 at Key Tower. All told, the firm will move a total of 63 attorneys and staffers to the newer building in May 2017, which will be the firm’s 20th year in operation.

In addition to one of the largest plaintiffs asbestos litigation practices in the nation, Kelley & Ferraro represents plaintiffs pharmaceutical, toxic tort and workers compensation litigation. Roe said in an interview that he believes the new office is a perfect fit for Kelley & Ferraro. “It will be good for their business,� Roe said. “It’s beautiful space.� Scott Pick, JLL’s Cleveland managing partner, represented Vectra in the sublease. The move will shift the firm farther away from the city’s courthouses and State Office Building, which matters to a litigation firm. “We are in court a lot,� Murphy said. “It’s a couple extra blocks. If we need to, we’ll get a ride. We’re excited to be part of the rebirth of the Flats.�

CONTINUED FROM PAGE1 In 2015, this segment had nearly 11,000 job openings. Since colleges and universities don’t have many programs for the non-culinary industries, Davis, who was on the task force for the report, said the completions in this category primarily are in the culinary arts. Cleveland recently has experienced a large hospitality-related boom, said Michael Huff, dean of the hospitality management program at Cleveland-based Cuyahoga Community College. Hotel room inventory has probably doubled in the past three years, he said, and additional food and beverage options have come along with that. Chris Kafcsak, executive chef at

Deagan’s Kitchen & Bar in Lakewood and member of Tri-C’s hospitality management advisory board, said culinary field employers in Northeast Ohio are so desperate for workers that they’re sharing employees, as a lot of people are working more than one job. He thinks the demand is driven by fewer people going into the industry, as well as the rapid growth of hotels and restaurants in the region. It’s “burying” the job market, he said. Tri-C has taken a few steps in recent years to meet demand, like expanding the degree and certificate options it offers in hospitality and adding a boot camp for workers looking for entrylevel hospitality jobs, Huff said. The college also is working to put an apprenticeship in place at a local company to start later this fall. The school is trying to give students a “smorgasbord of options,” he said, while also helping industry

meet its needs at all levels of the employment ladder.

Taking the long view Another area where the report indicated a possible gap was the broad “business, management, marketing & related support services” category, covering areas ranging from accounting to human resources to event management. With such a large category, it’s difficult to determine exactly what’s driving the demand, though area

schools had some ideas. Para Jones, president of Stark State College in North Canton, said accounting is one high-demand area, and there’s a need to replace retiring workers at the administrative level. Alan Miciak, dean of the Boler School of Business at John Carroll University in University Heights, said he has seen a lot of demand in the supply chain and logistics markets. Some of the other categories that the report indicates have sizable gaps between supply and demand include

family and consumer sciences, agriculture and construction trades. But area colleges and universities don’t just want to train students for jobs with openings now — they’re interested in preparing students for fields that will be hiring in the future. And one of those fields is health care. While the NOCHE report indicated there was a small gap between completions and job openings, impending retirements and a changing health care landscape make that a big area of interest for local schools. “Health care is the economic engine in Northeast Ohio,” said Joan Kavanagh, associate chief nursing officer for nursing education and professional development at the Cleveland Clinic. There is a lot of demand for health care professionals in the region, Kavanagh said. The Cleveland Clinic alone hires more than 1,000 nurses each year, and the system is growing. And overall, there’s an aging population who needs health care, she said. And area schools are working to make sure they have the capacity to meet that demand. For instance, Cleveland State University is working to expand its opportunities for clinical placement, as that’s the bottleneck keeping the school from admitting more students, said Jianping Zhu, the school’s provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. Patricia Sharpnack, dean of Pepper Pike-based Ursuline College’s nursing school, said the nursing field in particular is seeing baby boomers age out of the workforce. The school has taken steps in recent years to address this, adding a three-year baccalaureate program in 2014 and a second-degree accelerated program in 2004 to get students in the workforce faster. “We’re trying to meet the needs of the community at all levels,” Sharpnack said.

Pick your passion On the other end of the spectrum, colleges have to work with students in areas with less direct demand, like the often maligned liberal arts. The NOCHE report found that more than 3,000 degrees or credentials were granted in 2013 in that category. In 2015, there were only 580 job openings. Instead of directing students away from fields they like, many local schools are showing students how the skills they learn in college apply to a variety of jobs. The University of Akron uses OhioMeansJobs data to map in-demand jobs to its majors. For students whose passion lies in a field with less demand, the college tries to work with them to make sure they have marketable skills, said Laura Carey, director of career services. For example, an English major may be encouraged to get an internship doing technical writing or communications. Other schools, like Cleveland State and Lake Erie College in Painesville, are also using internships in this way. Baldwin Wallace University in Berea is taking a similar approach with its optional Humanities at Work program, which started last year. The goal is to keep students in the programs they’re passionate about, but show them how those skills translate to other areas, said provost Stephen Stahl. Ultimately, one of the challenges that tuition-driven institutions face in meeting industry demand is balancing it with student demand. Stahl said Baldwin Wallace looks at job forecasts, but those forecasts have to match what students want to pursue. “Student interest is what trumps everything else,” he said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “It’s fraudulent. There’s no question about that,” Avenatti told Crain’s. “We know for a fact now that (Hall of Fame president) David Baker told the players and ESPN at least an hour and a half before 8 p.m. We know that. We also know that David Baker instructed the players not to say anything.” Avenatti was referring to a podcast Colts punter Pat McAfee recorded the day after game — on which he said, “There was a big ‘no tweeting’ policy, like nobody’s allowed to say (expletive).” The scoreboard at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, which just entered the second phase of an $80 million renovation, had a countdown to kickoff clock that continued to tick well after the announcement had been made on ESPN and social media. “That’s a fraudulent representation and statement,” Avenatti said. “And the Hall of Fame and the league have yet to answer the following basic question: Why did you not tell the fans at the same time that you told ESPN and the players?” The league and the Hall of Fame have been mum on Avenatti’s lawsuit, which seeks more than $5 million, since it was originally filed. Hall of Fame vice president of communications Pete Fierle told Crain’s that the Canton nonprofit “does not have a comment at this time.”

‘Internal thorn’ The morning after the game was canceled, Avenatti said his office started to receive calls from unhappy fans. A simple Google search told them that the attorney represented seven fans whose Super Bowl XLV seats were displaced or had obstructed views. The fans in that case were award-

Crews work on the field of Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium prior to the game being canceled due to poor field conditions caused by issues with the painted logos. (Joe Robbins, Getty Images) ed $76,000 in combined damages, but that award is being appealed and the case is dragging on — more than 5½ years after the Packers defeated the Steelers at Cowboys Stadium. “He’s sort of an internal thorn in their side,” said Phillip A. Ciano, principal of the Ciano & Goldwasser law firm in Cleveland, of Avenatti and the NFL. The Hall of Fame initially said on its website that it “was not responsible for any tickets that were not purchased directly from the Hall of Fame.” That would have complicated the reimbursement efforts for those who bought seats on the secondary market — a group that represents a large share of the Hall of Fame Game’s crowd, since its enshrinement weekend draws fans from all over the country. The market for the 2016 game between the Packers and Colts — following the Hall of Fame enshrinement of former Green Bay

quarterback Brett Favre — was the most active SeatGeek has seen for the annual preseason game, content analyst Chris Leyden said. On Aug. 18, the Hall announced a “special reimbursement plan,” which included all ticket-holders, and offered to pay back parking and reservation fees, plus one night of hotel accommodations. The Hall of Fame is also going to throw in four admission tickets to its museum, a picture taken of its members on the front steps of the facility and a 201617 Hall of Fame Yearbook, plus a couple of other perks. Not surprisingly, that wasn’t enough for Avenatti, who said some of his clients “spent thousands” to attend the game. “I think the league and the Hall of Fame are being cheap with the fans,” the attorney said. “This is but a fraction of what fans are legally entitled to.” One of Avenatti’s complaints is that fans would only be reimbursed for the

face value of the tickets, which the year before were priced at $59 to $79. The average secondary-market sale for the 2016 Hall of Fame Game was $106, according to SeatGeek. But Leyden, SeatGeek’s content analyst, said customers who paid for a Hall of Fame Game ticket on the secondary-market site would be reimbursed by the seller, who can get the face value of the ticket back from the Hall of Fame. Chris Matkovich of TicketIQ, which aggregates listings from several sites, said the New York-based company has a similar refund policy.

Different ‘set of rules’ The amended complaint Avenatti filed Aug. 23 in San Francisco said his clients suffered damages that included out-of-pocket costs, lodging and travel expenses, costs associated with items purchased on the day of the game, and “missed hours and days of employment” for fans who took vaca-

tion time to travel to Canton. Ciano, the Cleveland attorney with a robust sports law practice, said the last three items in the damage complaint — the travel expenses, items purchased on game day and vacation time — are potential stumbling blocks. “Some were already planning to travel to the Hall of Fame and have a hotel stay for the (enshrinement) ceremony that was independent of the game,” Ciano said. “How are you going to segregate that out from those who were going to the ceremony (on Saturday, Aug. 6) and those who were just going to the game? That could be a hindrance to classaction certification.” Wallach, a Florida gaming and sports law attorney, believes the case against the Hall of Fame and the NFL is “meritorious,” and that it was bolstered when NFL vice president Troy Vincent sent a memo to the league’s 32 teams saying that “ultimately I am accountable” for ensuring safe field conditions. “The NFL is a piñata in the eyes of the national media,” Wallach said. “There’s this undercurrent of pushback in the national media, maybe rightfully so, to take the NFL to task when they do wrong, which happens quite a lot. This is another vehicle to expose incompetence within the NFL’s offices.” Ciano and Wallach believe any financial hit, aside from the millions the cancellation could cost the Hall of Fame in reimbursements, would be absorbed by the NFL, which is expected to top $13 billion in revenue in 2016. Avenatti, now in his second highprofile case against the sports juggernaut, said he wants “justice” for the fans — which, of course, he is defining as a robust settlement. “I want fans to be treated like customers, which they are,” he said. “The league and its executives seem to think that they can play by a set of rules that no other organization in America gets to play by.”

Re: Fed report on Cleveland economy

Editorial

Hometown fight With his national spotlight fading in the wake of the Donald Trump takeover of the Republican Party, Gov. John Kasich is back at it: picking fights with local governments. And this time, a simple request from Cleveland — one aimed at lifting urban residents out of poverty, something Kasich preached all too often during his presidential run — has fallen on deaf ears. Kasich recently signed a law that prohibits state and local governments from requiring a contractor to employ a certain number or percentage of residents on a project funded with state dollars. Specifically, the new state law targets Cleveland’s Fannie Lewis Law, which requires that on the city’s construction contracts of $100,000 or more at least 20% of the labor be performed by Cleveland residents, a sliver of which should also be low-income. The city of Cleveland recently challenged the new law — set to go into effect last week — with a lawsuit, and Cuyahoga County judge Michael Russo last week wisely issued a temporary restraining order preventing the law from taking effect. And because of the wrangling between the city and the state, Cleveland has stalled the transfer of cityowned land needed to complete the $331 million Opportunity Corridor project, as Crain’s Jay Miller reported late last month. The legal issue at hand is the age-old debate concerning home rule. Cleveland and other Ohio urban strongholds have waged this nasty fight with state politicians concerning the scope of their own rights in regulating what goes on within their borders. Even greater, though, is the moral issue, and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson is on the right side of the debate.

“We have facilitated billions of dollars of wealth and investment in (the last few years) and all we ask is a small portion of that come to the people we represent,” Jackson said during a recent press conference. Over the last three years, the city said its residents have earned $34 million in income from construction projects in Cleveland because of the Fannie Lewis labor clause. In a city where too many families live paycheck to paycheck, every dollar counts. One day of work can dictate whether someone’s children go to bed hungry. Also, it’s critical the city’s low-income residents are a part of — and take ownership of — our city’s rebirth. Advocates for the new state law — primarily lawmakers from rural areas — argue that local hiring requirements prevent contractors from outside those urban centers from securing construction jobs in big cities. However, Cleveland’s hiring requirements don’t completely negate their involvement with these projects given that they only require 20% of the contractors hail from within the city’s borders. During his failed presidential run, Kasich spoke often about lifting people out of the shadows and giving them the tools to better their lives. Just last month, in a New York Times op-ed, the governor described the current welfare system as a “rigid and counterproductive system that treats an individual as a number, not as a person who is desperate to gain new skills and opportunities in life.” But by signing this law, governor, you’ve become just another cog in that cycle of poverty you’ve pledged so hard to try to break.

The Cleveland metro area did not add, subtract, divide or multiply jobs. Businesses, nonprofits and governments added to or subtracted from our economy. What the metro area might contribute, and what we should be measuring, is whether we have a FERTILE FIELD for economic growth. Aside from its fixed assets such as Lake Erie, an awesome work force, big-city infrastructure, etc., the biggest changeable factor is POLICY. We can be PRO-GROWTH, and if we’re not, we’re ANTI-GROWTH. Every policy is one or the other. Businesses face a complex web of taxation, including the rare “local income tax,” which almost no states allow. We face regulations and bureaucracy at every turn. And we still have not cleaned up the corruption in government. This is like pouring weed killer instead of fertilizer on our economic “field.” We keep bemoaning the fact that Columbus, Cincinnati or Indianapolis have these fast-paced, high-growth economies ... but we’re still pouring on the weed killer.

Ohio must return to innovative roots to develop clean energy By JOSH KNIGHTS There’s a global revolution underway in the world of energy generation and distribution. Change is happening at the speed of a wind turbine’s blade tip. If America wants to keep up, we’re going to have to pick up the pace. Here in Ohio we’ve spent the last two years running in place, with a freeze on policies that encourage more clean, renewable energy use. Other states have kept moving. Texas, for example, which is well known for its oil wells, is one of 12 states that generated 10% or more of its in-state electricity from wind in 2015. Ohioans look back with pride at our history as inventors and innovators. We frequently remind people of the words of one of our most famous favorite sons: “If I were giving a young man advice as to how he might succeed in life,” Wilbur Wright is said to have written, “I would say to him, pick out a good father and mother, and begin life in Ohio.” American schoolchildren in all 50 states learn of Wilbur, his younger brother, Orville, and the first airplane flight, but do they know Charles Kettering? His invention of the first automobile self-starter freed us from the back-breaking toil of cranking engines by hand. His company, the Dayton Electric Laboratory Co. (Delco), was an innovation leader for decades. Energy innovation in particular is a special part of Ohio’s heritage of invention. The “Delco Light” power plant, another Kettering invention, brought electricity to rural homes not on the grid in the early part of the 20th century. A few decades earlier, Cleveland engineer Charles F. Brush built what is today believed to be the first automatically operating wind turbine for making electricity. The first modern alkaline battery was patented by Union Carbine in Cleveland, by researchers who were building on the work by another inventor, Thomas Edison (who was, by the way, born in Ohio). You get the idea. Each of Ohio’s innovations made our lives better, created jobs, and strengthened our economy. Today, technological innovations are rapidly transforming

the energy economy by making wind, solar and other renewable energy sources more efficient and less expensive. And without a particularly strong or coherent renewable energy policy on the federal level, state policies are driving advances. Some U.S. states — including Iowa, the Dakotas and Kansas — produce a greater percentage of their electricity by wind than some European nations like Spain and Ireland. Always on the lookout for opportunities to prosper from change, Ohio readied itself to reap the benefits of this changing economy. In 2008, our state Legislature passed a law that required utility companies to invest in the future by sourcing a greater share of their power from clean energy. Investments in renewables quickly ramped up, with $750 million invested in new solar and wind projects over the next few years. According to research by Ohio State University, Ohio’s renewable energy standards stimulated GDP by $160 million in 2012 and created more than 3,200 Ohio jobs over four years. But then Ohio marked a “first” for which we should not be proud. In 2014, we became the first state to reverse energy efficiency rules and renewable energy requirements, putting the brakes on renewable investment at the cost of 1,400 Ohio jobs. Companies and researchers are reinventing the ways we generate, transport and use electric power in the 21st century, and in a global economy, the next big idea can come from anywhere. Ohio can lead, or we can watch as others harvest the fruits of energy innovation. We know these standards attract investment and create jobs. It’s time to lift the freeze and restore the incentives for clean energy innovation, not just in Ohio, but throughout America. We find ourselves at a critical juncture on the road to clean and secure energy. We must choose the path that provides our children and grandchildren the brightest future.

FirstEnergy puts steep price on its impact BLOOMBERG FirstEnergy Corp., Ohio’s homegrown utility with roots in the state that date to 1930, wants its customers to pay to ensure it stays there. In the latest twist in a two-year battle for aid, the company has asked regulators to approve as much as $568 million a year for eight years in customer surcharges to compensate for the economic impact of having its headquarters in Akron. FirstEnergy is among utilities across the U.S. struggling amid flat demand and low power prices bought on by cheap natural gas, and growing supplies of solar and wind energy. That hasn’t swayed manufacturers, consumer advocates and environmental groups who said they were left flabbergasted by the proposed hike. “When they first told me that was in there, I thought it was a joke,” said Eric Burkland, the president of the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, which opposes the fee increase. “From a manufacturing ratepayer’s perspective, it’s just bizarre.” While governments often offer tax breaks to lure businesses, Burkland said he was unaware of another util-

ity asking ratepayers for payments tied to the company’s headquarters. The company had initially asked the commission to approve a powerpurchase agreement for its Sammis coal plant and Davis-Besse nuclear plant, which were struggling in the competitive regional power market. In March of this year, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved a settlement with FirstEnergy and American Electric Power Co., allowing them to pay above market rates for electricity from certain plants. The companies argued that allowing them to raise customer bills to keep coal and nuclear plants in operation would act as a hedge, and payoff for customers in the future once natural gas prices rebounded. But a month later the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced a review of the contracts, saying it “has an independent role to ensure that wholesale sales of electric energy and capacity are just and reasonable.” After that decision, AEP announced it was dropping its bid for state aid, but FirstEnergy came back with a modified plan it said wouldn’t require federal approval because it wasn’t tied to purchases from specific power plants. Staff at the utilities

commission counter-offered with something completely different: surcharges totaling $131 million a year for three years to support the company’s credit rating and boost grid modernization. FirstEnergy says it still prefers its plan but can live with the structure of the staff’s plan if the amounts pledged to the company are increased. Instead of a total of $393 million in aid, it should get $558 million a year for nearly eight years, or $4.5 billion. And on top of that, it wants compensation of as much as $568 million for the added impact of salaries, vendor purchases and local employee spending in Akron. “They should weigh the value of keeping our nexus of operations” in Akron, said Eileen Mikkelsen, vice president for rates and regulatory affairs at FirstEnergy, in an interview. “If the commission thinks that is important to the state, they should recognize that in their order.” A requirement of the staff’s proposal is that FirstEnergy remain headquartered in the state, and the company would have to forfeit the benefits of the deal if it announces it’s leaving, she said. FirstEnergy’s 1,360 employees and $245 million annual payroll provide

direct benefits to Akron and the state, according to Sarah Murley, an analyst with Applied Economics LLP hired by the utility. Indirectly, the company supports 2,047 jobs, and it injects $110 million a year in vendor purchases and $162 million from employee spending into the local economy.

“When all is said and done, consumers could be charged up to nearly $8.9 billion to support the financial integrity of FirstEnergy. The record reflects no evidence that FirstEnergy plans to relocate its headquarters away from Akron.” — Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel

“When all is said and done, consumers could be charged up to nearly $8.9 billion to support the financial integrity of FirstEnergy,” the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel said in a brief. “The record reflects no evidence that FirstEnergy plans to relocate its headquarters away from Akron.” The company announced last year that it signed a lease extension for its 19-story headquarters building, and “will remain in this downtown Akron location through June of 2025.” Opponents including rival power producers such as Dynegy Inc., have also questioned the rationale for the aid. When it first went to regulators, FirstEnergy said it was trying to help ensure a diversity of power sources, limit transmission costs, save coalplant jobs and provide a rate hedge for customers. “All of these benefits would be eliminated under modified (plan), to the great detriment of ratepayers and the public interest,” the Environmental Defense Fund said in its brief to the state commission. “The goals of these alternatives, simply put, are to put money in the hands of the shareholders and to make up for years of bad financial bets on fossil fuels and against clean and efficient energy.”

Meanwhile, for achieving a savings rate of 2.55%, Summa Health will receive a roughly $3 million payment, making the system the only one in Ohio to receive a payment all three years of the CMS program. “To be successful in population health, it has a fairly long runway,” said Dr. Mark Terpylak, Summa’s Health’s senior vice president for population health and president of New Health Collaborative, Summa’s ACO. “We had started on our journey into clinical integration and population health way before the shared savings program.” University Hospitals has also been participating in the shared savings program since mid-2012, when it began, and will receive a payment of about $5.6 million for its savings rate of 2.26%. Though UH has saved money every year, 2015 is the first year that its savings passed a certain sliding threshold and quality targets set by CMS for ACOs, which include groups of doctors, hospitals and other care providers who come together to give coordinated care to their Medicare patients. ACOs who meet the established requirements share in about half of the generated savings with the government. “What UH is really proud of is that this is something that we got in really early,” said Nate Hunt, director of UH’s ACO. “We’ve always seen quality results and we’ve seen costs go down, but to really have it recognized at this level is exciting.” Cleveland Clinic formed its ACO last year, holding out longer than

other health systems in the region. Dr. James Gutierrez, president and medical director for the Cleveland Clinic Medicare ACO, said he was pretty confident they’d pass the savings threshold, but expected to see a payment closer to $12 million instead of the $16.6 million it will receive. “We were obviously pleasantly surprised, but it wasn’t an accident,” Gutierrez said. The foundation of building value into the Clinic’s work “started with getting the message across our whole enterprise that value is critical, that improving the quality of care for patients and reducing the total cost of spend and looking for opportunities for avoidable spending was going to be something that we had to build into our care model going forward.” Nationally, 31% of ACOs participating in the program generated savings above their established threshold in order to receive a cut of those savings, according to the federal data released at the end of August. By 2018, the feds hope to have 50% of Medicare payments flowing through some sort of alternative payment model as part of the shift from feefor-service payment models to one based in value of care delivered. MetroHealth’s ACO is in its second year participating in the shared savings program. Its savings rate of 1.7% didn’t pass the threshold to receive a cut, but it is a marked improvement over last year in which the ACO spent 2.11% more than the benchmark set by the government. “If you look at where we were the prior year to where we came in ’15, the improvement — internally, this is what we look at, and this is what motivates us — is tremendous,” said Dr.

Nabil Chehade, MetroHealth’s senior vice president of population health. Chehade, who joined MetroHealth Aug. 1 from the now-shuttered HealthSpan provider group, said that the goal is to continue to improve quality and chip away at the total cost. “If it leads itself to a shared savings, it’s exactly where we want to be,” he said, “but we’re not going to be discouraged if we don’t get there yet. It’s a journey.” For Summa, which received about $4.5 million for performance year 2014 and $5.8 million the prior year, the challenge going forward becomes in maintaining savings as the benchmark is lowered. “Year over year as you lower the spend, you’re also lowering your target for the upcoming year,” Terpylak said. “The longer you’re in them and the more successful you’ve been, sequentially it becomes harder and harder and harder to keep going lower.” The focus, he said, becomes quality, which goes hand-in-hand with the program’s push to reduce costs. An annual quality score helps determine how much of an ACO’s half of the savings it would be eligible for. The cost efficiencies and quality improvements found through the shared savings program reach beyond the Medicare population and throughout health systems. “We’re glad to see that this is proof that the way we’re continuing to improve that model is really resulting in better quality of care that we can measure, as well as saving health care resources,” Gutierrez said. “We’re being better stewards of health care dollars. So that’s ultimately what made us feel best about this first-year performance.”

Ingenious way to create is in works By RACHEL ABBEY McCAFFERTY Ingenuity Cleveland wants to be known for more than just an annual event. IngenuityFest isn’t going anywhere, but the arts and technologyfocused group has been making an effort to grow in recent years, expanding to host and co-host more events tied to its mission. “All of these events celebrate Cleveland’s creative class,” said program director Emily Appelbaum. But it’s Ingenuity’s most recent move that represents a big push toward establishing a more visible, year-round presence. Ingenuity is starting a group of partner companies called the Creative Collaborative, as well as creating an incubator space for its IngenuityLabs program, in the old Osborn industrial complex on Hamilton Avenue. The project is very much in the pilot stages. The building is about 350,000 square feet in total, but the incubator will just be occupying about 30,000 square feet at first, Appelbaum said. The partner companies will be located outside of that space in the building. The new space also will be the site of this year’s IngenuityFest, to be held Sept. 23-25. People like exploring old industrial spaces and seeing the “bones” of the city, she said. As of late August, the room that will house the incubator program was largely empty, aside from some shop equipment and a variety of art pieces being housed for the festival.

Appelbaum said Ingenuity signed an agreement with the building owners in May through the end of the year. The group is using the time to research possible models and will pitch a long-term model at the end of this year or the start of next. Ideally, the incubator will serve businesses of all kinds, Appelbaum said. It’s more about creating a socially and economically linked group than it is about serving a particular kind of company. The IngenuityLabs program used to support one project per year, but now will serve as more of a true incubator. The pilot members for the incubator, which she said include dance and sculpture-related companies, will be housed in bays, and a shared metal and wood shop is planned for the center of the large industrial room. Appelbaum noted that one of the pilot members is a good example of how the spaces would ideally be used. It’s going to be testing out a new kind of composting and, if it works, the company could move out of the incubator and into another space in the building. The group also is working with a variety of more established companies as partners in the collaborative, including Soulcraft Cleveland Inc. and Skidmark Garage. The idea will be that the companies can work together on projects, instead of just existing in the same space, and it will give Ingenuity a community of people it can turn to. It’s going to be a “Petri dish” of creativity, she said. Appelbaum said partners aren’t

IngenuityFest facts The festival celebrating creativity and innovation will take place at Ingenuity Cleveland’s new incubator space at 5401 Hamilton Ave. in Cleveland. Friday, Sept. 23: 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 24: 12 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 25: 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

paying any sort of membership fees at this time, and she didn’t want to share any figures on rent. She also declined to share the cost for IngenuityLab members to participate, but said there is a minimal flat fee. Soulcraft, a community woodworking shop, has been in the Hildebrandt building on Walton Avenue, where a cluster of like-minded businesses ended up moving in, said cofounder Peter Debelak. But he’s looking for the Creative Collaborative to be more intentional and for its partners to work together on projects, as smaller companies can win larger projects that way. Brian Schaffran of Skidmark Garage also is coming from the Hildebrandt building. The new location will give the community motorcycle shop more space for what he called a friendlier rent. But overall, he wants to be part of a place where people can come in and work with their hands, bringing their ideas to life. He said he’s “desperate” to be part of something like this initiative and thrilled to be in the right place at the right time.

BUSINESS OF LIFE

Source Lunch Maybe Bryce Custer is prescient, or he has uncanny business foresight. Maybe he just went to the right event at the right time and was smart enough to take the speaker seriously. More likely, it was some combination of all of the above. Regardless, in fall 2011, when the late shale driller Aubrey McClendon told a group of Ohioans that the Utica shale play was going to be the “biggest thing, economically, to hit Ohio — since maybe the plow,” Custer was in the audience with ears blazing. As a commercial real estate adviser for NAI Spring in Canton, he saw a huge opportunity. He caught it too. Since then, Custer has sold property after property in eastern Ohio to developers — including hundreds of acres for two major natural gas-fired power plants. He’s proof that you can build wealth in Ohio’s shale play, even if you never touch a drill bit. — Dan Shingler

How old are you? I’m 53. And thanks. Where did you grow up and go to school? I grew up in Jackson Township, near Massillon. I went to Jackson High School and then graduated from Kent State in 1985. What did you major in? Chemistry. I wanted to work in an environmental lab. That was my family’s business and what my dad did. He owned Wadsworth Alert Laboratories. How did you get into real estate? I had a consulting company and I was negotiating on my lease and I ended up buying the building. Real estate became my hobby … and over the years, my hobby became my business, so I sold the consulting company. I got my license in 2009, which was the worst possible time to get a real estate license. You do only commercial real estate, no residential. Why? I hate doing residential stuff. Commercial is actually simpler, and it’s a lot less emotional. I don’t have to show someone 20 buildings, like you might with a residential client. With commercial, you find out what someone’s needs are, what their critical success factors are, and you go out and meet them.

Was it a good career move for you? Do you like it? I love it. I still can’t wait to get up and go to work on Monday morning. … When I started, I thought I would work part-time, but I’m in the office every day. Did you know about shale drilling before it came to Ohio? No, it was all new to me. But they told me what they were doing, and they said it was going to be big. Well, I’d missed a few big opportunities in the past, and I wasn’t going to let this one get away. In 1995, I put together a conference on the internet and there were people looking for investors in Yahoo. But I thought, “This doesn’t make sense.” … I wasn’t going to let that happen again. I know that you’ve done well with the shale boom, but a lot of people think it’s gone bust. Is that what you see, as a real estate agent serving the industry? No. You have to look past the drilling and the price of gas. It’s all about what it does for the area and the economy, and that’s not over. It’s not about midstream, so much as what’s going to happen downstream. Do you still drive as much as you used to, when the shale boom started? Yes. … I’ve got to be in Weirton, W.Va., in about an hour and a half.

Bryce Custer

How is the real estate industry in eastern Ohio affected by the slowdown? I’m still very busy. Now we’re talking to people who are going to be users of the product, or suppliers to the industry. I’m talking to people now who, for years, have been manufacturing out of Texas or Oklahoma. Now, they’re starting to realize that if they come here to serve the Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia markets, they can save a ton on shipping costs. Do you think we’ll see some manufacturing come to Ohio as a result of shale? I do. … When you’re talking about manufacturers of big items, used by drillers, they have huge shipping costs. They’re saying “for me to ship my product to here costs $15,000,” so they realize they need to have companies locate here. It can cost $15,000 to ship a piece of equipment here from Oklahoma. You’ve made some big announcements on deals in the past, most notably for the big power plants. What’s next? I’m talking to a lot of manufacturers now. … We’ve got some other projects on the way that I really can’t speak about right now.
