In an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Landsman says he wants to focus on job creation and growing the city. City Hall can’t do it alone, he says; reaching those goals will require building coalitions in the public and private sectors, and leadership is needed to make that happen.
He says he will draw on his experience as executive director of the Strive Partnership, a network of education, philanthropic and business organizations focused on helping students hit specific academic milestones throughout their academic careers.

It made sense to focus initially on improvements to Downtown and Over-the-Rhine, he says, but now it’s time to expand the approach that allowed the city and 3CDC to succeed in those areas in order to create similar progress in other neighborhoods.
