Vibrant NEO 2040: A Vision & Framework for Our Future is an opportunity for Northeast Ohio communities to explore the region’s long-term development patterns and to think together about what we want our region to be like in the future. The goal of Vibrant NEO 2040 is to create a shared Framework for Our Future that reflects the values, voices and vision of the public. Broad public participation at all stages is essential to building this framework and a legacy for generations to come.
Our work focuses on developing a framework, analysis and products integrating Economic Development, Environments, Housing and Communities, Connections (Transportation) and Quality Connected places.
