BusinessWeek Story Features Cleveland's Push To Buy Local

It's nice to see a positive story on Cleveland's way of trying to do business, from the editors at BusinessWeek!

Look;

"In Cleveland, some of the city's largest institutions have committed to buying more of their goods and services from local suppliers.

Together, those institutions purchase $3 billion annually in goods and services, and most of that money leaves the neighborhood where their campuses are. Redirecting 10% of that spending into neighborhood businesses would inject $300 million into an area where the median household income is $18,000 a year."
