They're talking about a potential eventual budget of over $6 billion, so it would be very important for the region. Given we're sorta a swing state and the big competition is MA, there are the right political incentives to put this in Cleveland.

NE Ohio polymer industry hopes for big boost from federal funds "The University of Akron, Case Western Reserve and Kent State universities, and the region’s entire polymer industry, will get a new research and development center — if backers win $17 million in federal funding. ... Proponents expect to know in September if the project will become a reality, as that’s when they’ll learn whether the region’s application for $75 million in Build Back Better Regional Challenge grant funding succeeds. The polymer cluster initiative is the biggest single component of that request. ... The grant money and private funding would be used to build a 20,000-square-foot facility on campus — the specific location has not been determined — that would enable faculty and students from Akron and the other schools to work closely with manufacturers, Dhinojwala said. Ultimately, he hopes the center becomes self-funding via contracts with manufacturers and then grows larger." https://www.crainscleveland.com/manufacturing/ne-ohio-polymer-industry-hopes-big-boost-federal-funds [Mod edit: note, subscription required] On ARPA-H; there will be a lot of winners if this comes through but I would think this really benefits CSU quite a bit as the nearest state school.

So, I hope that doesn't affect their decision. Although, having Ford build electric vehicles in Lorain County might factor into their decision. The supply chain for batteries might be fairly strong given Ford's investment.

CSX directly connects Brook Park to Marysville but not so well connected to Lordstown. The latter requires some back-up moves by trains to use the line south from Parma through Strongsville or the restoration of a track connection at Grafton. It's doable, but railroads have been pushing short-haul shipments to trucks.

Based on national average, Cleveland was above average in both low income and overall income growth and is the only Ohio metro for which that was true.
July 22, 20222 yr The unadjusted Cleveland employment numbers have some good news and some not so good. The unemployment rate is 6.0% but the number employed is 980K the highest number since Feb 2020. The jump in unemployment is accounted for by a growth in the labor pool of 20K that exceeded the job growth of 14K. https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?la Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
July 22, 20222 yr Author ^Total non-farm employment numbers lie between 2016 and 2017 for June which is typically the peak employment for the year. We're not doing too bad but the economy is definitely still not fully back up to speed relatively speaking. When we get back to 2020's employment numbers, we'd still be about 60,000 off from the employment peak in 2000 pre-NAFTA.
July 22, 20222 yr Employment is up YoY in every sector except financial activities. The 6% unemployment rate could just be noise or could be indicative of labor force re-entry slightly outpacing hiring rate, which is probably good in this environment. FWIW, unemployment higher than 6% is precedented in some healthy economic eras, such as the mid 1980s. I am just happy to see total employment numbers continue to climb, and as long as that continues, I'm not sure how much the unemployment rate really tells you unless it's something crazy. Also, I've variously observed things that make no sense in the BLS data for CLE metro. So I think those #s always have to be taken with a grain of salt.

July 24, 20222 yr Based on the rate of annual retirements nationwide (about 3 million) in recent years, Greater Cleveland's per-capita share of that would be about 15,000-20,000 per year. If correct, the growth of the labor pool by 20,000 in June suggests some interesting data. Pre-pandemic, June labor for totals were 1.075 million or just under. If 45,000 people retired in the last three years, that should've dropped the labor force to 1.03 million. Instead, it's 1.04 million. Does that mean approximately 10,000 working-age people moved to Greater Cleveland in the last few years?

But most of the people who are retiring tend to live in the burbs. The 20-somethings who are hired to fill the entry-level jobs vacated by those climbing the corporate ladder to replace the retirees are the people who are filling these apartments.

August 8, 20222 yr Hi DHubb…I agree with you that Cleveland’s future continues to brighten. Even the most robust, high growth cities lose-out sometimes. We can’t forget how Cleveland was several decades ago when we were losing most of the time. The sky seemed to be falling. Today, we are winning so much more than we are losing it’s like night and day! There is a real spirit of optimism now. Yes, we still have long standing problems to work on, but Cleveland truly is a city on the rise again.
