Economic Development (Our Focus)
Cleveland Plus: Turning the Corner
-
Advocate with one voice: The size of the GCP's membership gives it the clout necessary to speak with one voice on behalf of the private sector.
-
Advance small business success: COSE, the GCP's small business partner, will continue to support and help grow the region's small businesses.
-
Accelerate economic inclusion: The Commission will accelerate its efforts to ensure that minorities more fully participate in and benefit from the region's economic development.
-
Build a high-impact, sustainable economic development system: The system that GCP helped create--comprised of BioEnterprise, JumpStart, MAGNET, NorTech, Team NEO, the Cleveland Plus Marketing Alliance and GCP's Business Development Team--is demonstrating a growing capability to retain and create jobs and wealth for all residents at scale.
-
Change the face of Cleveland: A focus on major physical development projects and new mixed-use development opportunities that will transform the Cleveland's economy and re-claim its position as an economic driver in the region, the nation and the world.
-
Strengthen global connections: The region's global competitiveness is tied to having world- class physical and human capital assets and organizational capacities that support commerce between our companies and the rest of the world.
-
Initiate a demand-driven talent system: The availability of an educated and skilled workforce is essential to fueling economic growth and to providing opportunity for area residents.
Catalyst: An agent that stimulates or develops a change. It starts with a spark. The Greater Cleveland Partnership is a catalyst for building a stronger city and region.
