Regional Economic Development Efforts Deliver Job Payroll and
Capital Investment Gains

Regional economic development activities helped to strengthen
Northeast Ohio’s economy in the third quarter of 2013 by
bringing in four new business investments – including Quest
Medical Imaging and Royal Appliance Mfg. Co. – and
facilitating the growth of 36 regional businesses, reports the Q3
2013 Regional Economic Development Report released by Team NEO.

The report provides the most complete snapshot of economic
development results for the Cleveland Plus region. It is based on
activity reported by JobsOhio, Team NEO, major city chambers of
commerce and economic development organizations in 18 counties
across Northeast Ohio. 

Q3 highlights from the report include:

• 40 attraction, expansion and retention successes (79
  year-to-date)

• 4,756 jobs (12,654 year-to-date)

• $244 million in payroll ($530 million year-to-date)

• $268 million in new capital investment ($729 million
  year-to-date)

“This report reflects the incredible teamwork and
collaboration taking place every day in Northeast Ohio,” said
Tom Waltermire, Chief Executive Officer of Team NEO. “Our
region’s economic development organizations continue to work
together to create jobs and stimulate the economy.”
