Our businesses scaled boldly, with Ohio earning a Top 5 national ranking and Cleveland companies landing on Forbes’ lists of the country’s best employers. Innovation surged as global brands chose Cleveland for headquarters and major expansions, and transformational projects began, from NASA’s lunar power news to the Cleveland Clinic’s billion-dollar campus growth. Startups secured major funding and Cleveland became a top destination for grads. Across our neighborhoods, new developments, cultural attractions and global sporting events took shape.
