In the economy of the 21st century, collaboration means thinking and working as a region. Nowhere is collaboration more important than in Northeast Ohio.
Northeast Ohio will not be awarded one of the Build Back Better grants; however, Ethan Karp, president and CEO of MAGNET, called the effort spent seeking the $75 million in funding likely the 'most comprehensive level of collaboration this region has ever seen.'
The Ohio Manufacturers' Association will use the money to help fund a statewide manufacturing workforce program. The grant is part of the $500 million American Rescue Plan Good Jobs Challenge grant program.
