Team NEO seeking regional assistance on policy and program development
Last week, The News-Herald reported that Team NEO, one of the state’s six JobsOhio Network entities, is soliciting economic enhancement plans from its 18 regional partners in Northeast Ohio. The goal of the RFP is to develop plans for the area’s future that would create more jobs, increase capital investment, and boost some of the region’s competitive strengths.
The Cleveland-based economic development entity plans to utilize the $4.1 million Ohio Third Frontier grant and establish a regional JobsOhio office. Additionally, a large portion of the grant award will assist in funding various economic development initiatives throughout the region that reinforce the scope of work soon to be provided by JobsOhio.
Tom Waltermire, CEO of Team NEO, said “favorable consideration will be given to proposals that aid in the expansion of existing companies and programs across the region, as well as plans that leverage existing resources and identify sources of funding for long-term sustainability.” For more information, click here to read the full article.
