Restoring Prosperity Greater Ohio and the Brookings Institution

Over the past year, the Brookings Institution and Greater Ohio have undertaken the Restoring Prosperity to Ohio Initiative with the goal of revitalizing the state's core communities and reinvigorating their economic competitiveness. The Initiative has evaluated the economic potential of core communities in Ohio and assessed the impact of past state policies on the health and vitality of these places. The initiative is also about building a constituency for change by engaging local civic, political, and business leaders around the state around the core principles of the Restoring Prosperity agenda. Our initial findings and policy recommendations are contained in a preliminary report that was released on September 10, 2008 at the Restoring Our Prosperity: The State Role in Revitalizing Ohio's Core Communities Summit in Columbus. A final report will be delivered in 2009.
