BUSINESS ASSOCIATION MOBILIZING PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERSHIP, EXPERTISE, AND RESOURCES.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT:THE BUSINESS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM WORKS WITH AREA BUSINESSES TO HELP THEM GROW AND THRIVE IN OUR REGION BY CONNECTING THEM TO THE RESOURCES OFFERED BY THE GCP AND TO THE LARGER NETWORK OF LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND STATE PARTNERS. A FEW NOTABLE PROJECTS THE BUSINESS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM TOUCHED IN 2018 INCLUDE:OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR: A $330-MILLION TRANSPORTATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ENTERED ITS FINAL AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE STAGE IN 2018 AS THE DESIGN AND EARLY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES COMMENCED ON THE BOULEVARD'S FINAL PHASE. SECTION 3 OF THE PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT THE FINAL 1.8 MILES OF NEW ROADWAY, FOUR NEW BRIDGES, TWO NEW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, SIX SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS, NEW WATER MAINS, NEW MAJOR SANITARY AND STORM SEWERS, SIDEWALKS AND A SHARED-USE PATH. THE 3-MILE BOULEVARD IS EXPECTED TO OPEN TO TRAFFIC BY THE END OF 2021, CONNECTING E. 105TH STREET IN UNIVERSITY CIRCLE TO THE REGIONAL INTERSTATE SYSTEM AT E. 55TH STREET AND I-490. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR WILL SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR JOB CREATION AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT BY PROVIDING ENHANCED ACCESS TO KEY EMPLOYMENT CENTERS AND CREATING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES OF UNDERUTILIZED LAND. THE GCP WAS AN EARLY ADVOCATE FOR THE PROJECT AND HAS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF NUMEROUS PARTNERS AND ENSURED THE PROJECT DELIVERS ON THE DESIRED ECONOMIC BENEFITS.IRISHTOWN BEND: THROUGH ITS ADVOCACY EFFORTS AND CIVIC CONNECTION PROGRAM ACTIVITY, THE GCP AND ITS PARTNERS ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL COLLAPSE OF IRISHTOWN BEND ON THE CITY'S NEAR WEST SIDE. WITHOUT PROPER INTERVENTION, THE HILLSIDE PROPERTY COULD SLIDE INTO THE CUYAHOGA RIVER SHIPPING CHANNEL AND DISRUPT - OR CLOSE - SHIP TRAFFIC VITAL TO KEY CLEVELAND INDUSTRIES. THE ESTIMATED $30 TO $45 MILLION STABILIZATION EFFORT WILL SHORE-UP THE SLOPE AND REPLACE 1,400 FEET OF BULKHEADS ALONG THE RIVER WHILE PROVIDING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE HILLSIDE INTO A 23-ACRE RIVERFRONT PARK THAT WILL SERVE AS BOTH A NEIGHBORHOOD AND REGIONAL ASSET.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT:RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC COLLABORATION AMONG PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE GREATER CLEVELAND PARTNERSHIP CONCENTRATES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TOWARD REINVESTMENT IN GREATER CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO. IN 2018, THIS WAS BEST ILLUSTRATED BY: - DELIVERING ON GCP'S CORE MISSION AND ALIGNING WITH ITS PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA TO ADVANCE ECONOMIC VITALITY OF GREATER CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO - SUPPORTING CIVIC LEADERSHIP BY ASSISTING WITH THE CREATION OF STRATEGIES TOWARD THE REVITALIZATION OF THE REGION - BEING DEDICATED TO DRIVE THE RESURGENCE OF AND REINVESTMENT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CLEVELAND AND ITS SURROUNDING SUBURBS - LEVERAGING DEVELOPMENT OF MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS - PROMOTING INNOVATIVE PUBLIC POLICY AND SUSTAINED INVESTMENT EFFORTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TOWARD THE REVITALIZATION OF CLEVELAND AND THE REGION.IN ADDITION, TARGETED PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE GREATER CLEVELAND PARTNERSHIP'S STRATEGY. THE GCP WORKS WITH ITS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AFFILIATE, CLEVELAND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS (CDA), AND ITS EXTERNAL PARTNERS TO LEVERAGE AND CONNECT EXISTING ASSETS AND CREATE NEW CATALYTIC PROJECTS THAT STIMULATE FURTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. OUR GOALS INCLUDE LEVERAGING CLEVELAND'S MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSETS TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE CITY WITH A COMPETITIVE HOUSING MARKET DOWNTOWN AND IN CITY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL ATTRACT ECONOMICALLY DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THROUGH 2018, CLEVELAND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS (CDA) HAS INVESTED OVER $445 MILLION IN MORE THAN 135 PROJECTS ACROSS GREATER CLEVELAND IN ITS 30-YEAR HISTORY, GENERATING $3.8 BILLION OF TOTAL DEVELOPMENT. LASTLY, THE ECONOMIC STRENGTH OF A REGION IS RELIANT UPON STRONG PARTNERSHIPS. PRIVATE ENTERPRISE REQUIRES DEPENDABLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS TO THRIVE AND GROW. PUBLIC STEWARDS MUST UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF THE BUSINESS SECTOR TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY SUPPORT ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION. THIS SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP REQUIRES OPEN, HONEST COMMUNICATION AND A CULTURE OF TRUST TO PRODUCE THE POSITIVE IMPACT BOTH SECTORS STRIVE TO CREATE. THE GREATER CLEVELAND CIVIC CONNECTION SERVES AS A FORUM FOR PUBLIC- AND PRIVATE-SECTOR LEADERSHIP TO ENGAGE AND COLLABORATE ON PROJECTS AND ISSUES OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE OF NORTHEAST OHIO. GREATER CLEVELAND CIVIC CONNECTION LEVERAGES THE STRENGTH OF THE REGION'S BUSINESS COMMUNITY THROUGH THE GCP AND PROVIDES DIRECT INTERACTION WITH PUBLIC-SECTOR LEADERSHIP TO HELP IDENTIFY CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS, ARTICULATE THE CHALLENGES, AND WORK TOWARD A SOLUTION THAT BENEFITS NORTHEAST OHIO'S ECONOMIC WELL-BEING.
MEMBER PROGRAMMING:FOR ALMOST A HALF CENTURY, THE COUNCIL OF SMALLER ENTERPRISES (COSE) PROGRAM HAS BEEN SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS NORTHEAST OHIO, PROVIDING THE RESOURCES, CONNECTIONS AND SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURS NEED TO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES. THAT MISSION CONTINUED IN 2018 AS COSE FOCUSED ON DELIVERING VALUE THROUGH PROGRAMS, BENEFITS AND SERVICES SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF SMALL BUSINESSES.CREATING CONNECTIONS: CONNECTING BUSINESS OWNERS TO ONE ANOTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A KEY PIECE OF COSE'S DNA. THROUGH THE BUSINESS BOOTCAMP SERIES, COSE CONNECTED MEMBERS TO EXPERTS WHO OFFERED SMALL BUSINESSES THE COACHING THEY NEED TO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES. MEMBER MEET-UPS WERE HOSTED ACROSS THE GCP'S EIGHT-COUNTY FOOTPRINT TO BRING MEMBERS TOGETHER IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS AND COSE CONTINUED TO BE A KEY PARTNER IN THE BUSINESS GROWTH COLLABORATIVE - A NETWORK OF 11 ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON HELPING BUSINESS OWNERS ACCESS THE OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HELP THEIR BUSINESSES FLOURISH.CONVENING LEADERSHIP: WITH A GOAL OF FOSTERING PRIVATE-SECTOR GROWTH, OHTEC LAUNCHED ITS CIO FORUM IN 2018. THE FORUM PROVIDES A VOICE FOR THE TECH COMMUNITY AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LEADERS TO GATHER REGULARLY TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES. THESE FORUMS ARE A WAY FOR NORTHEAST OHIO TO FURTHER BRAND ITSELF AS A TECH HUB AND HIGHLIGHT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE INDUSTRY.CELEBRATING TECH: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER TECHNOLOGY GROUPS IN NORTHEAST OHIO, OHTEC AGAIN WAS THE LEAD IN TECH WEEK 2018. TECH WEEK IS THE REGION'S ANNUAL INITIATIVE TO ENGAGE THE LOCAL TECH COMMUNITY THROUGH A WEEK-LONG SERIES OF NETWORKING AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS. AS ALWAYS, THE WEEK WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY OHTEC'S 2018 BEST OF TECH AWARDS, WHICH ANNUALLY RECOGNIZES PROFESSIONALS AND COMPANIES FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LOCAL TECH COMMUNITY.MEMBERSHIP: WITH MORE THAN 12,000 MEMBERS - RANGING FROM GLOBAL FORTUNE 1000 CORPORATIONS TO MIDDLE-MARKET COMPANIES TO ENTREPRENEURS ACROSS GREATER CLEVELAND - THE GCP IS THE BIGGEST METROPOLITAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN THE COUNTRY.
