Northeast Ohio Contractors & Suppliers - North Coast Connector Impact

Cleveland released updated lakefront plans last week. The North Coast Connector project is reaching out to contractors, suppliers and local companies, with construction planned for 2027. The business-development part of my brain goes straight to the smaller local companies that could get a shot at this. I'd like to see a Northeast Ohio contractor come out of it with another crew, a supplier with a few new long-term customers, or a young tradesperson getting a real start. If we're still hearing those names on other projects a few years later, that's a pretty good result. And I'd be interested in how they got there. The first introduction, getting considered for the work, figuring out where they fit. That's the part of a big project I'd want to hear more about as someone who builds relationships for a living. I'll look at the renderings like everyone else. I also want to hear about the owner who suddenly needs a bigger parking lot for the work trucks. Give that person a spot in the follow-up story. https://lnkd.in/eCBugshs
