As most of you know I live in Cleveland, Ohio actually a suburb of Cleveland. Over the past few years the city of Cleveland a heavy manufacturing based town, has been hit hard by closings and layoffs. The population has been moving to the suburbs and out of state, recent college grads tend to settle in other cities than Cleveland. Some things Cleveland is noted for are a top ranked hospitals such as the Cleveland Clinic and University Health systems, diverse ethnic and cultural influences, top ranked art museum, orchestra and many others. Despite still having a population in city limits of 500,000 and in the surrounding region of 2 Million, Cleveland is viewed by Clevelanders and others as a dying city and it has been hard because of image problems, tax issues and political issues to attract new business development in the city and surrounding region.

A new group called The Red Room Revolution plans to change the image of the region and transfer technology companies to the area in hopes that their high growth potential will turn into some success stories. Please take a look at the Red Room Revolution website and then go to their blog here on Blogster and add your feedback. The group is looking for ideas and comments on their efforts so far. Thanks for your help.
