Regional Prosperity for Northeast Ohio: Growing Together

How can the communities of Northeast Ohio come together to create an environment for sustainable economic prosperity? What are the connections between job growth, economic development, equity and government collaboration? What are the next steps?


The Growing Together forum features a moderated panel with state legislators, policymakers and round table discussions with members of the community. Filmmaker Andrea Torrice will open the forum discussion with clips from her documentary film The New Metropolis.


Sponsored by: The Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University, together with Ideastream, the Civic Commons, Northeast Ohio First Suburbs Consortium, Torrice Productions, Greater Ohio, the Center for Community Solutions and the Regional Prosperity Initiative.


This forum is part of The New Metropolis national civic engagement dialogue series on revitalizing America’s older communities. It is made possible through the generous support of the Ford and Surdna Foundations.
