Winter/Spring 2012: Lecture #S4.4
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Anchor-Based Economic and Community Development Strategies"

Ziona Austrian and Kathy Hexter, Cleveland State University


Kathy and Ziona will discuss the Evergreen Initiative, a Cleveland-based initiative designed to help low-income entrepreneurs succeed through partnerships with anchor institutions. The goal of the Evergreen Initiative is to provide meaningful jobs and opportunities to build wealth in inner-city communities. The Evergreen Initiative has helped entrepreneurs create employee-owned cooperative businesses providing laundry, food/agricultural, energy, and other services to hospitals, universities, charitable foundations, and governmental agencies in Cleveland.
