Reclaiming Our Identity is our well-defined plan to re-establish exactly who we are, with the clear vision to know, exactly where we’re going. Never again can we allow anyone to own our narrative. It’s time we take back and tell our own story.
Investing in Reclaiming Our Identity (ROI), has a tangible Return On Investment (ROI). Youngstown is wonderfully endowed by the depth of Arts, Film, Music & Entertainment community. Our Academic and Educational infrastructure has the potential to rival even those known to be “best in class” as learning institutions. We have an undisputed legacy in Athletics (Boxing, Football, Basketball). Entrepreneurship and Small Business acumen courses through our veins and is a vital lifeblood to our city. Our terrain, abundance of undeveloped land and Valley landscape, (the lakes, rivers and parks), are all Economic Development assets waiting to be unleashed.
Respectively, each of these Youngstown Identities, account for viable billion dollar Industries. Combined, they will tap into our creative ingenuity and open the door for real world marketplace opportunities.
