Being Local
The City of Independence is a vibrant community with safe neighborhoods and dynamic business districts! With a strong school system, low property taxes, and excellent services, we offer an enviable quality of life for our 7,500+ residents.
A business-friendly environment with easy access to highways, airports and downtown Cleveland has attracted a variety of industries, corporate headquarters, nonprofits, colleges, restaurants and entertainment venues to our City.
Adjacent to the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Park, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking and biking. A short drive offers access to Lake Erie, professional sports, museums, theaters, amusement parks and two zoos.
Thank you to Great Lakes Publishing for another fantastic edition of Independence Magazine! Be sure to explore the great stories and support the local business sponsors who made this possible at no cost.
Sincerely,
Gregory P. Kurtz, Mayor
