Anchors away? Nah.

The real phrase, from a song about the U.S. Navy, is "anchors aweigh," but I'm using the play on words to describe the idea that as Case Western Reserve University's president resigns, the concomitant disarray threatens two important economic development projects.

I like the idea also put forth in the same article that these projects are so good for the region that the business community will take over and make sure they're completed. The NEO entrepreneurial community grows stronger with solid connections between business and higher education--which results in everything from a larger pool of qualified job candidates to more dependable support for research and development.

Been reading lately how capitalism is the only system that continues to work, decade after decade. Glad to see it's sticking true to form in Northeast Ohio.
