The Opportunity Corridor officially opened in November 2021. How has the Opportunity Corridor already impacted economic growth within the region and how can this corridor continue to be an opportunity for the City? Hear answers to these questions and learn more updates about the Opportunity Corridor during this event on Thursday, April 25 from 4:00-6:00 pm. Join ULI Cleveland to hear a presentation followed by a panel discussion. 

The Opportunity Corridor is a planned boulevard that will run from East 55th Street at Interstate 490 to East 105th Street in University Circle. The project is being managed  by the Ohio Department of Transportation, the City of Cleveland, Greater Cleveland Partnership, and the Opportunity Corridor Partnership Office. The area between I-490 and University Circle has become known as the "Forgotten Triangle" due to the lack of economic activity. Outside of the transportation benefits it could bring to the Cleveland area, this effort opens the potential for new economic development, new jobs and a new identity for the community. The Opportunity Corridor encompasses nearly 1,000 acres on Cleveland's southeast side and is anchored by University Circle and the Cleveland Clinic.
