Dunno about the old definitions; I have trouble enough with the current set. On the Akron MSA question, the Federal Record says: "OMB accepted theReview Committee’s recommendation to qualify a county as an outlying countyif (a) at least 25 percent of the employedresidents of the county work in theCBSA’s central county or counties, or (b)at least 25 percent of the jobs in the potential outlying county are accountedfor by workers who reside in the CBSA’s central county or counties. OMB alsoaccepted the Review Committee’srecommendation not to use measures of settlement structure, such as population density, to qualify outlying counties for inclusion in CBSAs." This year 2000 rule change raised the commuter standard from the 15% definition of the 1990. The OMB also said, "OMB also accepted the ReviewCommittee’s recommendations thatcombinations of CBSAs, based on anemployment interchange measure of atleast 15 but less than 25, should occuronly if local opinion (see Section C.10below) in both areas is in favor and thatcombinations should occurautomatically if the employmentinterchange measure between twoCBSAs equals or exceeds 25." Source: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-27/pdf/00-32997.pdf Bottom line: if Akron and Cleveland civic parties wanted to be merged within the Cleveland MSA, it could happen. I'm pretty sure the 15% standard could easily be demonstrated. Edit: the OMB revision of 2010 to these rules didn't change anythng to do with MSA mergers; OMB danced around and basically said, "Who cares? That's why I invented CSA's."

I've always felt like they were shooting from the hip. The variety of beer they package and distribute is insane.

I won't buy AB unless really in a pinch, so I doubt I will be buying much Platform anymore. I wonder if they'll still get the same collaborators wanting to work with them (e.g. Streetside in Cincy has collaborated with them a number of times).
August 12, 20195 yr Innovest Global, a small Cleveland-area startup, has gone from $1 million sales in the first half of 2018 to $17 million for the the first half of 2019. They have said they are "cash positive" but have NOT said they are profitable. This quarter, they will be going to NYC and Toronto looking for investors to support further growth. Predictably they will pay a big percentage of ownership for the money.

August 12, 20195 yr ^if there are some agencies that actually make people drive two-hours to visit in person, then the "counter/window operations" could remain in Columbus, but all the back office/admin/management functions could be anywhere. Or, if that is really a concern, then open more local offices, like the BMV has. But I'd say of the state personnel based in Columbus, probably 99% of them don't face the public ever. Agencies that do need local office, already have local offices in other cities, like those in the State office bldg on W. 6 St.
