When we are All In, we all win. The work – and the winning – has begun. Over the past two years, Greater Cleveland Partnership has shared the All In Plan for once again becoming one of the Great Regions in the Great Lakes. The plan identifies key priorities and strategies, metrics to gauge progress, and an “All In” approach that defines how private, public and philanthropic partners work together to achieve the vision.

We saw significant business expansions, hundreds of millions of dollars in new capital for small businesses, increases in minority business growth and a full-scale effort to develop our waterfronts.
