As everyone has pointed out there are multiple options for Broadview Hts. Unfortunately the article in Cleveland.com is a mess of mostly old and a little new information all mashed together.
One option not mentioned is the planned Brecksville - Independence Dispatch Center. Those communities are part of the Cuyahoga Valley group. The other members, Brooklyn Hts., Cuyahoga Hts., Valley View and Seven Hills have not announced any decisions regarding their plans for joining a Regional Dispatch Center. Note: It is assumed that Seven Hills will go with Broadview Hts.
There are a number of issues that affects the decision. Brooklyn Hts., Cuyahoga Hts., Valley View and Seven Hills have not announced plans to move off of their analog VHF frequencies. Brecksville and Independence have said they are going Digital. But have not announce if they are planning on joining GCRCN, MARCS-IP, Parma P25 or creating their own Digital trunked or conventional system.
Also, none of the existing systems (GCRCN, MARCS-IP or Parma P25) provide complete coverage for any of the Cuyahoga Valley communities. Every community has area's of dead zones, with the existing P25 systems. It's a terrain issue, hills and valleys and also urban, suburban, commercial, industrial, agricultural and forested area's.
Last but not least, there is the cost. Which is the biggest obstacle. Broadview Hts. got a wind fall from the failed Cuyahoga County Regional Dispatch plan. Which they are sharing a part of with Seven Hills. The other communities aren't seeing a cost justification that they could sell to the public.
My vote goes for the Brecksville - Independence Dispatch plan. But letting each community continue on it's own current systems whether they be analog VHF or Digital.
