The Institute is a partner in the Restoring Prosperity to Ohio collaborative, led by Greater Ohio and the Brookings Institution. The initiative recognizes that Ohio’s cities already have the educational and medical institutions, historic neighborhoods, natural amenities, and other assets critical to overcoming the challenges they face – should they receive adequate support in the form of a constructive set of state policies. Effective state policies and practices will support proposed and ongoing revitalization efforts in many cities, and the partnership’s efforts will help cities leverage their assets and propel the state into a more prosperous era.
