Under-30 innovators, new neighborhoods and a burning river reborn: Some favorite 2023 reads

Posted by: Laura DeMarco on Wednesday, December 6, 2023

Sharing stories from and about The Land – and the people and businesses that make it a “greater” Cleveland.

That’s the mission of Greater Cleveland Partnership’s storytelling.

This year, we have honored risk takers and rebels, shone a spotlight on under-30 innovators, tech leaders, a new Hispanic neighborhood, a new “gayborhood,” a stunning restaurant in the heart of the city – and so much more. We’ve celebrated Black History and Women’s History and Asian Americans and Pride and Hispanic Heritage Month and highlighted emerging young professionals — because a Great Region on a Great Lake starts with all of us being All In.

Here are some of our favorite reads from 2023 about Clevelanders doing just that.
