The Port of Cleveland is one of the largest ports on the Great Lakes. Over 23,000 jobs and $7.0 billion in annual economic activity are tied to the roughly 13 million tons of cargo that move through Cleveland Harbor each year. The Port of Cleveland is the only local government agency whose sole mission is to spur job creation and economic vitality in Cuyahoga County. We are an economic engine for our community, a key to Northeast Ohio’s global competitiveness, and a crucial partner in building Cuyahoga County’s future. We support our region’s economic development through our maritime and development finance activities, which brings new infrastructure and jobs to our region, and improves the quality of life to those who call northeast Ohio home.
