In July 2024, the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority hosted its inaugural construction and design networking event. It was a great opportunity for large, small, minority, and women- owned firms to learn about the Port’s construction opportunities and most importantly network with one another.

As the premier port of the Great Lakes, we feel it is our responsibility to help bridge gaps within the maritime industry. We look forward to the participants feedback and continuing our efforts to bolster the economic vitality of Northeast Ohio.
