Welcome to the “Northeast Ohio Logistics Infrastructure Study.” This study is a comprehensive view of the logistics infrastructure of Northeast Ohio that describes the existing state of the infrastructure, discusses its strengths and weaknesses, and points out opportunities to use our infrastructure to attract business and create jobs. Funded by the Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium (NEOTEC), the study was conducted by Bradley Hull PhD of John Carroll University during the summer and fall of 2009.
Please use the sidebar to the left to select your topics of interest. Once you have selected a topic, such as “Maritime” you will find underneath it 1) video clips, 2) presentation slides from the video clips, 3) an overview of the topic, and 4) a list of references with urls and short descriptions whenever possible, and 4) invited commentary from industry experts. The goal is for you to be able to click on a topic of interest and gain a quick and thorough understanding of that topic. The executive summary provides an overall summary of all the components of NEO’s logistics infrastructure, a view of NEO’s infrastructure in a statewide context, and a list of opportunities available to us.
If you are an expert in one of the subject areas and would like to contribute commentary, please contact us. If you have other comments, please contact us as well:
