                    IN HONOR OF EMILY LIPOVAN HOLAN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 26, 2000

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Emily Lipovan Holan, 
a distinguished Ohio entrepreneur and former recipient of the Northern 
Ohio Live 1999 Award of Achievement for Neighborhood Revitalization.
  Emily Holan holds a 1990 bachelor of arts degree in real estate 
development, city planning and architectural design from Levin College. 
As the executive director of Tremont West Development Corporation, she 
has overseen four multi-million dollar real estate developments and has 
spearheaded marketing and publicity efforts for Tremont. Her other 
achievements included being listed in Crain's Cleveland Business 40 
Under 40.
  Emily Holan is being honored with the Alumni Special Achievement 
Award for her dedication and collaborative work in the Tremont Ridge 
Project. This undertaking uses the grid of the original 20-foot-wide 
housing lots plotted just after the Civil War to maintain the historic 
pedestrian nature of the neighborhood.
  There are now 39 homes completed--bungalows and colonials priced 
between $130,000 and $150,000 and featuring elegant 10-foot ceilings, 
loft balconies, hardwood floors, fireplaces, two-story living rooms, 
above-ground English-style basements, and rooftop decks. When 
completed, Tremont Ridge will total 60 units, including townhouses and 
scattered sites. Emily Holan's commitment not only beautifies the city, 
but also allows neighborhoods to benefit from the project, with 
homeowners able to apply for interest-free loans to rehabilitate their 
own homes.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in honoring Emily Lipovan Holan 
for her service to the community in maintaining a beautiful historical 
site.
