Engaged leaders of Ohio,
First of all I would like to introduce Greater Ohio. We are Ohio's Smart Growth
Organization. We are non-partisan, non-profit and foundation funded. Our
missions statement as well as more information about our current initiative is
on our website at www.greaterohio.org
As mentioned in an earlier posting related to Economic Development, Greater
Ohio in partnership with the Brookings Institution, is leading a non-partisan
research, policy development, and organizing initiative focused on revitalizing
the state's core communities and reinvigorating its economic competitiveness.
We are working closely with state officials as well as corporate, civic and
academic leaders in order to to provide state leaders with concrete proposals
for reform that are carefully tailored to the core communities' unique assets
and challenges.
On Wednesday, September 10, 2008, the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy
Program and the Greater Ohio Policy Center will host the Summit on Restoring
Prosperity to Ohio at the Convention Center in Columbus.
This Summit is the center piece of a multi-year research, policy development,
and networking effort to revitalize Ohio’s core communities, create new
opportunities for the people of Ohio, and invigorate the state’s economy. At
this Summit, plenary presentations and breakout sessions will engage
participants in the review, evaluation, and refinement of recommendations
leading to real and tangible practices for moving Ohio forward in areas such as
economic development, transportation investments, workforce development, and
neighborhood revitalization. Speakers include Governor Ted Strickland
(invited), Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher, and Bruce Katz, Vice President and
Director of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, as well as mayors,
legislative leaders, major business CEO’s, and university presidents.
The Summit will be a valuable opportunity to elevate this important discussion
to center stage in Ohio and strengthen our collective efforts to promote
reforms.
There is no fee to attend this Summit, although registration is required which
can be done at www.regonline.com/restoreprosperity, where there is a frequently
updated agenda.
I encourage everyone who is interested in advancing Ohio's economy to come to
this Summit as it touches on all of the topics previously discussed in this
group and will offer a valuable opportunity to discuss innovative solutions.
Let me know if you have any questions.
