Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb on Wednesday, June 1, named directors of public works, community relations and the Mayor's Office of Capital Projects, as well as a senior strategist of transit and mobility.
Bibb takes office as a new wave of the coronavirus washes over one of the nation’s poorest cities. At 34, he is Cleveland’s second-youngest mayor, having bested older and more seasoned opponents in last year’s election.
Jessica Trivisonno, a Bibb campaign supporter who worked as economic development director for Northwest Neighborhoods community development corporation, will serve as the new mayor’s senior strategist on the market.
