Have You Heard?
2014 City of Green Magazine is Here! 
The City of Green partnered with Great Lakes Publishing to produce a community magazine.  The publication was mailed earlier this month to all residences and businesses in Green as well as included in the July/August edition of Inside Business Magazine.  The magazine features a resource directory, stories about the businesses in the city, as well as other handy information for those who are new to Green or long-time residents.  The magazine will also aid in the City's economic development efforts    

 

We would also like to thank all those who advertised in the magazine.  Without your support the magazine would not be possible.  Click the magazine cover to view the online version of the magazine. 

 

If you did not receive a copy of the magazine or would like additional copies, please contact Jessica Hyser at 330.896.6614 or jhyser@cityofgreen.org.
