March 9, 2023 [CLEVELAND]— Bedrock announces that Nora Romanoff has joined the team as Vice President of Business Development in Cleveland. Romanoff will play a key role in the implementation, program management and performance monitoring of Bedrock’s Cuyahoga Riverfront master plan, reporting directly to Bedrock’s Senior Vice President of Business Development, Deb Janik. With over two decades of experience in urban planning, sustainable building design and civic engagement, Romanoff will apply her expertise to advance Bedrock’s 15-to-20-year vision to transform 35 acres of the Cuyahoga Riverfront and Tower City Center into an accessible, equitable and sustainable downtown neighborhood.

“Nora brings years of experience and knowledge in urban planning and project management to the Bedrock team,” said Deb Janik, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Bedrock. “She has played an integral role in delivering transformational developments and public realm investments in virtually every Cleveland neighborhood including downtown. Her commitment to Cleveland continues, and we look forward to seeing how she incorporates her perspective, collaboration and expertise into all of Bedrock’s Cleveland initiatives.”

Prior to joining Bedrock, Romanoff served as Associate Director at LAND Studio, where she managed the redevelopment of downtown Cleveland’s Public Square and directed the Mayor’s Task Force for the project from 2014 to 2016. This work included communication and outreach for the $57million project and a 33-intersection, multimodal traffic study. Additionally, Romanoff led various projects including LANDform, a downtown public art and public space initiative, and served as Project Liaison for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame building and public space expansion. Most recently, Romanoff served as the co-chair of the Land Use and Urban Design Working Group for the Cleveland Lakefront Process and master plan. Her work also includes Bedrock’s first phase of public streetscape improvements.

“With this new opportunity, I am thrilled to join the Bedrock team who will deliver an ambitious and thoughtful vision for our city,” said Nora Romanoff, Vice President of Business Development at Bedrock. “As someone who has served Cleveland professionally all my life, I am eager to share my support and skills to bring the Cuyahoga Riverfront master plan to fruition. Bedrock understands that Cleveland deserves a connected and carefully designed riverfront, and I am delighted to see the postcard of our city evolve in the most beautiful and innovative ways.”
