Inclusive Economic Development
September 16, 2026
Cleveland’s Breaking Bread Together gathering brought residents, community leaders, public officials, business voices, and local partners together around questions of economic development, neighborhood opportunity, jobs, investment, and what it means for growth to genuinely serve the people who live there.
Through facilitated table conversations, participants shared lived experiences, explored different perspectives, surfaced tensions and opportunities, and considered what inclusive development could mean in practice.
