Report to the Aerozone Alliance: Phase 1

<p> The origins for this project include a 2011 Cleveland State University feasibility report which provided research on &ldquo;aerotropolis&rdquo; developments in general and describes planned development outward from an airport with observations specifically for Cleveland. Subsequently or concurrently, Cuyahoga County Council introduced a resolution to support early efforts to collaborate with stakeholders for the purpose of promoting economic development, job creation, job retention, and workforce development around Cleveland Hopkins airport. <br/> <br/> The Aerozone Alliance has been organized to create the conditions for an airport city or &ldquo;aerotropolis&rdquo; to take shape. <br/> <br/> The Aerozone Alliance region comprises more than 7,000 land parcels around Cleveland Hopkins airport in multiple political jurisdictions that offer potential to be developed into an &ldquo;aerotropolis." <br/> <br/> This project involved technical assistance performed by the Center for Nonprofit Policy &amp; Practice to assist in organizing the effort. This report draws on a scope of work intended to: <ul> <li> assist in developing the design and composition of the Aerozone Alliance board membership, governance, working committee structure, and work project implementation; </li> <li> set the conditions for a mutually agreeable work plan for the board and its committees with project outcomes; </li> <li> and provide support in the form of staffing to organize stakeholders which may include: 1) preparing four meeting agendas; 2) note-taking at meetings with written minutes; 3) coordinating communications of the committee members; and 4) research as required. </li> </ul></p>
