The city and its Ukrainian Village hope to cultivate a “sister relationship” with the city of Lviv in Ukraine, Mayor Tim DeGeeter announced earlier tonight.
DeGeeter said that on Friday he sent a letter about the proposed relationship to Lviv’s mayor.
DeGeeter said the move is another step toward building and strengthening a Ukrainian identity within Parma and Ukrainian Village.
“We are excited about this and its social, cultural and economic-development opportunities,” DeGeeter said. “We are looking forward to a response from the mayor about this sister-city relationship.”
DeGeeter did not give further details. He made the announcement during his second state-of-the-city address at Parma Community General Hospital.
