Making Toledo’s future
Brandon Sehlhorst grew up in Toledo, studied urban planning in Cincinnati, and came back with one mission: grow this city. Now serving as Toledo’s first-ever Chief Growth Officer, he sits down with Vince Croci to talk about the bold goal of 300,000 residents by 2040, a creative $20 million shovel-ready sites fund, what happened with Southwyck Mall, and why Toledo’s tech ecosystem needs a dedicated leader.
