Proudest Achievement
The Docks in International Park. This consisted of
rehabilitating an old warehouse (30,000+ square feet) into five great
restaurants on the waterfront overlooking the Toledo skyline. The investment was
$13 million from private, city and federal dollars. It has become a major
attraction for visitors and local residents.
