CLEVELAND -- As Ohio’s leaders have acknowledged the imbalance of wins for northeast Ohio’s economic development projects, our region has an opportunity to refocus on a vital component of Ohio’s economic potential: water.

The water economy is one of Ohio’s fastest-growing sectors and touches nearly every aspect of our economic vitality. From manufacturing to food production, agriculture, data processing centers, maritime industries, capturing critical minerals from wastewater, and utilities managing our drinking water and wastewater, the water economy spans sectors vital to Ohio’s infrastructure and growth.
