DescAppealing Communities:Attractive communities are essential for drawing in and keeping vibrant businesses and talented individuals. Our priority is creating a next-generation appeal for working, living, and playing in Greater Cleveland. We collaborate with partners to enhance our downtown and waterfront areas through interconnected and inclusive developments in residential, commercial, and public spaces. We also invest in neighborhoods, focusing on both residential growth and commercial corridor development, ensuring they are supported by accessible and efficient transit. Additionally, we advocate for resources to expand amenities such as parks, arts and culture, sports, and other recreational activities. Recognizing the economic and social benefits of strong air services, we work closely with the city of Cleveland and other organizations to enhance air travel options for both business and leisure. Enhancing Downtown and Waterfronts: In 2023, we continued to partner with the Mayor of the City of Cleveland and his administration to lead a planning process to redevelop the Downtown Cleveland Lakefront. City reveals North Coast Master Plan for lakefront and enters into an agreement for riverfront development.Invest in Neighborhoods: Transformative real estate development aimed at creating an attractive and inclusive community is a top priority. GCP collaborates with its real estate development affiliate, Cleveland Development Advisors (CDA), and external partners to maximize existing assets and initiate new catalytic projects that drive further economic growth.Expand Recreational Amenities including Parks, Arts and Culture, and Sports: GCP serves as a catalyst and advocate for maintaining and enhancing the region's vibrant array of arts and culture, parks and trails, sports and entertainment, and air services. These offerings contribute to a high quality of life and play a key role in attracting businesses and talent to the area.Improve Airport and Air Service Connections: Enhanced air services attract businesses, boosting the local economy by facilitating trade, tourism, and investment. Improved connectivity makes the region more accessible to global markets, encouraging corporate expansions and new business ventures. GCP continued to work with Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to build a plan to improve the airport services and facilities. International Airline launches nonstop service from Cleveland to Dublin; Airline selects CLE for crew hub and starts new flights to San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas, Charlotte, San Juan and Jamaica.Desc

DescTalent:Dynamic businesses require a steady supply of talent to thrive. Our focus is on work-based learning for both current and future job markets. We collaborate with partners to boost enrollments and completions in degree and certificate programs for growth sectors, and to enhance internships, apprenticeships, and co-op opportunities through industry-led partnerships with educational institutions and training providers. Additionally, we aim to increase career awareness among high school students through exposure and placement programs that create clear pathways to employment.Increase Degree and Certificate Completions and Retain Graduates: Our region has seen a net increase in college-educated individuals over the past six years. A more educated workforce often leads to increased innovation and productivity, driving economic development and attracting higher-value industries.Expand Internships, Apprenticeships, Co-ops and Tech Credentials: Summer in the Land is a community initiative and series of events aimed at showcasing and celebrating the vibrancy of Greater Cleveland during the summer months. It includes a variety of activities designed to engage residents and visitors, promote local businesses, and highlight the region's cultural, recreational, and social offerings. In 2023, Summer in the Land attracted over 1,000 interns from 300+ companies.Broaden Career Awareness among High School Students through Exposure Programs: Early career exposure helps students, and their families plan for post-secondary education and career paths, making the transition from high school to higher education or the workforce smoother and more strategic. Also, by learning about different professions and industries early, students can start developing relevant skills and interests, aligning their education with their career aspirations. As a result, in 2023, Ohio's budget features the largest increases ever recorded for college aid and technical career training.Desc

Additionally, we enhance innovation across startups, corporations, and research institutions (including federal facilities) through targeted sector strategies, industry partnerships, and increased funding.Innovation Initiatives: Expand innovation at start-ups, corporates and research institutions through partnerships and increased funding: We encouraged partnerships between corporations and research institutions to bridge the gap between academic research and commercial applications. In 2023, the region experienced increased access to venture capital, grants, and other funding opportunities for startups and research-focused projects. Sustainable manufacturing and materials innovation hubs, Akron and corporate partners win federal awards, resulting in development of an $300M research facility by local Ivy League school.

ExplanationThe Greater Cleveland Partnership and its subsidiaries adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, Greater Cleveland Partnership and its subsidiaries may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, management has evaluated the Organization's tax positions and has concluded that the Organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with provisions of this guidance. GCP is not subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for the years ending December 31, 2020 and prior.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe board of Directors and staff of the GCP are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards in conducting the business of the GCP. The board and staff conflict of interest policies are intended to provide clear guidance to ensure that the GCP's business is conducted with integrity, and in compliance with all applicable laws, and in a manner that excludes considerations of personal advantage or gain. All board and staff members shall annually receive a reminder of their agreement to comply with the policy and sign a declaration indicating their acceptance. Board members self-identify and disclose potential conflicts. Additionally, staff research and identify other additional potential conflicts of board members. This information is shared with disinterested members of the GCP Executive Committee who formally vote to waive specific conflicts. Any violation of the board policy will subject a board member to appropriate action, up to and including, removal from the board. When questions arise concerning any aspect of this policy, board members are encouraged to contact the board chair. Violations of this policy should be reported to the board chair or the confidential and independent 24-hour helpline provider, NAVEX Global, Inc.

The committee's responsibilities include approving compensation for employees of the organization including the President/CEO. An annual performance evaluation process is conducted for all employees. Compensation for all employees is evaluated against the market. The compensation committee utilizes the resources of an independent consulting firm in the evaluation process to provide local and national compensation comparable data.

Allocations have been made between the filing organization and two related organizations to, more accurately, report compensation and benefit expenses applicable to each organization.
