Discussion &

Next StepsHow can we leverage MetroHealths campus plan investments to improve the

surrounding community?

Can we use MetroHealths investment as a catalyst to attract support fromgovernment, foundations, and the private sector?

Can MetroHealths Campus be designed to make West 25thStreet the Front Door?

Is there an interest to build a hotel, school, or other types of facilities that serveMetroHealth employees and visitors?

Can MetroHealth, City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and regional Foundationsprovide incentives for employees to purchase homes in the adjacent

neighborhoods?

How can MetroHealth connect its purchasing and construction with local vendorsand support start-up businesses?

Could the call center locating on the second floor of the Wong property support a $9million new construction project on West 25th Street at MetroHealths gateway?
