Celebrate Northeast Ohio Economic Development Excellence
Join Team NEO in celebrating Northeast Ohio economic development. On Wednesday, June 4, 2008, Team NEO will hold its second annual Economic Development Impact Awards at the Embassy Suites in Independence, OH. The evening will highlight projects, companies and communities who have made outstanding economic development contributions in Northeast Ohio. It will be an evening to celebrate our collective efforts and accomplishments.
In addition to honoring finalists in nine categories including Job Retention, Public-Private Partnership, and Asset Creation, Team NEO will also honor the City of Akron, Summit County and their partners with the “Deal of the Year” award for the Goodyear Riverwalk Project. Moreover, Dick Pogue, former managing partner of Jones Day, and current board of trustees member for the University of Akron, National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation, and University Hospital Health System, will be honored for the Peter Burg Award for outstanding Regionalism.
