I just received the Ohio DNR's magazine; in it, it's listing all the
projects that it has supposedly completed with. One of the projects was
12,000 brook trout released into the tribs of the Chagrin in the project's
final year...anyone know anything about this and how well these fish have
held up?

It's been up and down. The last I had heard, the hatchery stock they had
were infected and they were canceling the project early. This is an
interesting branch of the hatchery discussions here of late- the ODNR was
using similar (identical?) strains of brook trout for a while to "help" the
native population.

There are some older updates he

And some good project reports if you dig around he

This isn't at all a burgeoning fishing opportunity, more like a small
population trying to hang on by its fingernails (bad metaphor, but you know
what I mean...) Some good work is being done along the tributaries with
conservation easements and stream improvement, hopefully the last remaining
population of wild brookies in Ohio can survive.
