TO OUR MEMBERS, STAKEHOLDERS & FRIENDS
Thank you for your interest in MidTown Cleveland, Inc. and taking the time to read our annual report, “Building
MidTown, Working Together to Move Forward.” Without question, 2010 was an outstanding year for MidTown
Cleveland, Inc. Throughout the past 12 months, we celebrated a number of significant accomplishments that are
highlighted in greater detail within this year’s annual report. The implementation of several key strategic initiatives
has positioned MidTown Cleveland, Inc. to capitalize on growth opportunities in the coming years. We are proud of
our current financial position, having again successfully achieved our annual Membership Campaign revenue goal
and retired the debt on our balance sheet from a long-standing Land Assembly Initiative.
DEMONSTRATING A NEW LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATION
Our ongoing strategy to position MidTown as a center for technology and innovation received a considerable boost
in 2010 through an unprecedented collaboration that is responsible for the establishment of the Cleveland HealthTech Corridor. The Health-Tech Corridor initiative sets out to leverage existing biomedical assets and infrastructure
to establish the Euclid Corridor as a globally competitive environment for attracting and growing biomedical, health
care and medical supply chain businesses in MidTown and beyond. MidTown Cleveland, Inc., BioEnterprise as well
as our government, institutional, foundation and strategic partners were successful in establishing the Cleveland
Health-Tech Corridor as an Ohio Hub of Innovation and Opportunity – further strengthening its identity as a
strategic priority location within the City of Cleveland, our region and State of Ohio. MidTown Cleveland, Inc. also
secured a highly competitive $3.5 million Jobs Ready Sites grant from the State of Ohio on behalf of the MidTown
Tech Park project – a 128,000-square-foot office and research building under construction on Euclid Avenue at
East 69th Street. These are examples of how MidTown Cleveland Inc.’s new partnerships, forged around a targeted
industry cluster attraction strategy, are accelerating the pace of redevelopment in MidTown. Investment and business
interest in the area are at an all time high with several pipeline projects moving into development phase this year
and we see this as the critical momentum to a sustained growth of MidTown.
OUR STAKEHOLDER PLEDGE
As we look ahead, we do so with promise for MidTown, the City of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. Today, we have
more than 50 acres of strategic MidTown real estate being programmed for redevelopment. And, redevelopment
means continued growth in jobs and investment. For growth and expansion to take seed, we must sustain our
competitive environment, which for MidTown translates to consistent delivery of our core mission services. The
following is our pledge to MidTown stakeholders and our strategic partners:
™™
Continue our 27-year working relationship with the Cleveland Police Department to improve your daily safety
and security experience
™™
Continue to enhance the visual appeal of our streets and buildings
™™
Provide you with quality ombudsman services
™™
Market MidTown as a great location to locate and grow your business
™™
Create improvement opportunities for distressed and underutilized properties
™™
Advocate for our common interests on issues affecting business competitiveness
™™
Discourage incompatible uses from locating in MidTown
™™
Attract investment to our area
We are genuinely grateful for the ongoing support we receive from our member stakeholders, foundations,
government partners - who believe in MidTown Cleveland, Inc. and our mission. We share our success in 2010 with
all of you – thank you.
By working together, we are truly moving MidTown forward.

Advocacy
MidTown Cleveland, Inc. values the diverse businesses that have chosen
to locate to our neighborhood. To ensure continued business growth and
economic vitality, MidTown Cleveland, Inc. advocates for your concerns and
protects your investments. A few examples of how we support our members
include: fighting to preserve the Innerbelt ramp access, communicating with
the City, County and State to secure resources and working to keep our
neighborhood safe, clean and visually appealing.
SAFETY & Security
Safety concerns regarding our neighborhood are a top priority for MidTown
Cleveland, Inc. We work on your behalf to maintain a safe environment
for your business, employees and customers. Our security initiative is a
cooperative effort between MidTown Cleveland, Inc., the Cleveland Police
Department, Tenable Protective Services, business and property owners,
tenants and employees. MidTown safety services include conducting security
audits, supporting business block watches, leading bi-monthly Security
Committee meetings and orchestrating the Dusk to Dawn program, which
focuses on enhancing the area’s security.
COMMUNity
The MidTown neighborhood is comprised of 600 businesses, 18,000
employees, 2,000 residents and thousands of daily customers, commuters
and visitors. MidTown Cleveland, Inc. hosts various events throughout the
year to help unite this vibrant community. Neighborhood events include our
annual Block Party and Security Fair, Spring Beautification Day, the MidTown
HealthLine Classic 10k/5k Race and the holiday party.
4.
Visual Quality
Our visual quality efforts are designed to enhance neighborhood
aesthetics and increase community pride, civic engagement
and, ultimately, property values. Throughout the year, we assist
stakeholders in keeping our area’s open spaces and streetscapes
clean and appealing. Our annual Spring Beautification Day and
graffiti abatement programs have resulted in the removal of graffiti
and tons of trash. We also offer the Prospect Avenue Summer Lawn
Maintenance Program to maintain the visual appearance of the
historic district. Our community support programs have helped
maintain strong property values in MidTown for nearly 30 years.
Ombudsman Services
MidTown Cleveland, Inc.’s ombudsman services are designed to
provide our stakeholders access to valuable resources that help
improve your bottom line. We respond to a wide range of requests
that include engaging assistance from the City of Cleveland,
reporting code violations, helping you connect with your neighbors
or supporting your business expansion or relocation to MidTown.
Our Cleveland Industrial Retention Initiative (CIRI) manager can help
manufacturing businesses improve operations and profitability, and
MidTown Cleveland, Inc. can provide key support in completing a
comprehensive exterior rehabilitation project through the City of
Cleveland’s Storefront Renovation Program.
DESIGN REVIEW & PLANNING
In order to protect property values and enhance the character and
visual image of Cleveland’s neighborhoods, certain proposals for
construction, exterior alterations, building demolitions and signs in the
City of Cleveland must undergo a process known as “design review.”
Within the Euclid Corridor Design Review District, all new construction
and exterior alterations to buildings and structures are subject to
design review. The committee reviews the design of development
proposals and makes recommendations for approval or disapproval
to the City Planning Commission. MidTown Cleveland Inc.’s dedicated
staff representative assists stakeholders through this process.
2010 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
™™Made significant progress in assuring effective
freeway access is maintained as part of the
Cleveland Innerbelt project. MidTown met with
the Ohio Department of Transportation and
Federal Highway Administration throughout the
year to achieve an agreement that an additional
comprehensive economic analysis be performed
to study the impact of the project’s plan to
remove and relocate existing interchanges within
the Innerbelt “trench” that serves MidTown. We
have asked that the study be performed before
any work in the “trench” commences to protect
our 600 companies and preserve Cleveland jobs.
™™Launched the Health-Tech Corridor (HTC) in
conjunction with BioEnterprise in the spring of 2010.
The HTC establishes this corridor that runs through
MidTown as a globally competitive environment
for attracting and growing biomedical, health
care and medical supply chain businesses. New
construction, jobs and amenities are occurring as a
result of this initiative and collaborative effort.
™™Received designation as a Hub of Innovation &
Opportunity by the State of Ohio, one of only eight
in Ohio. This provides MidTown Cleveland, Inc. with
$250,000 to implement the action plan for the
Health-Tech Corridor.
™™Managed the Dusk to Dawn Program in
conjunction with Tenable Protective Services,
providing customized security coverage for
participating businesses and a dedicated security
patrol for the MidTown service area.
™™Worked cooperatively with the Cleveland Police
Department to maintain MidTown as a safe
environment for area businesses, employees
and customers.
™™Facilitated the attainment of $3.5 million in Jobs
Ready Sites funding for the construction of the
MidTown Tech Park, 6700 Euclid Avenue.
™™Held the Fourth Annual MidTown HealthLine
Classic 10k/5k Race, engaging 309 runners and

HEATHER MOORE JEWELRY
To accommodate the company’s growth, Heather Moore Jewelry bought and
renovated a former crane-making factory at 4502 Prospect Avenue in 2009.
At the time, the company had 20 employees. Now, a year and a half later,
the company moved into the new space with 53 employees. The tagline of the
Heather Moore Collection is “Cherish Who You Are.” The design associates
for the jewelry collection help customers across the country to create timeless
pieces that commemorate and document life’s milestones. Heather Moore
Jewelry is known for its sustainable business model and unique selling
experience. The company uses 100 percent recycled precious materials in
their products to preserve our planet’s natural resources. In their renovation,
the company reused as much of the building as they could, including leftover
crane parts that were repurposed into a dining room table that now graces
the large kitchen. The building renovation included removing ceilings to
create a lofted second-floor office, installing new windows and turning an old
garage door into a light-filled window. Future plans include an art gallery,
new patio and roof garden. www.heathermoorejewelry.com

PIERRE’S ICE CREAM COMPANY
Pierre’s Ice Cream expansion at 6200 Euclid Avenue will enable the City of
Cleveland’s last remaining ice cream maker to double its capacity to churn
out its popular ice creams and other frozen treats. Among its features: energyefficient automated ice cream production equipment, insulated panels for better
heating and cooling, the capacity to recycle the hot and cold air generated
by the production process to heat and cool rooms as well as windows and
skylights for natural light. www.pierres.com

BRYANT & STRATTON COLLEGE
Bryant & Stratton College relocated its Downtown campus to
3121 Euclid Avenue. This premier student-focused institution
of higher learning in MidTown allows the college to continue
providing exceptional education and placement services to its
students. The new location is now more accessible to businesses
along the Health-Tech and Euclid corridors. The MidTown
campus is currently preparing more than 1,000 students and
working adults in more than 14 career and degree programs.
The new Euclid Avenue campus has more than 50,000 square
feet of space with state-of-the-art technology, classroom and
clinical preparation areas. www.bryantstratton.edu
ZISKA ARCHITECTURE
With the purchase of the William Gifford House at 3047
Prospect Avenue, Ziska Architecture moved their offices into
Cleveland from Solon, Ohio. The 110-year-old main building’s
original woodwork is in near perfect condition and needs some
minor work. Ziska Architecture is restoring the building’s exterior
and will be adding parking areas and landscaping typical of
the other mansions on Prospect Avenue, while using a design
with some creativity and flair. The firm plans on having a couple
of bicycles in the office so employees can easily go Downtown
for meetings or lunches. They join several other very strong
architectural firms in the area, creating their own design corridor.

QUÉZ MEDIA MARKETING
Located on 1667 East 40th Street and a Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE), Quéz Media Marketing is a total marketing
communications provider. Its technology and creativity enable
organizations to implement targeted, personalized cross-media
campaigns. Quéz Media Marketing also provides online
storefronts, data services, creative services, print production and
fulfillment and promotional products. When they first saw the
building, they fell in love with the MidTown area. Their office
is in an older refurbished building with great character and
amenities; free parking is a plus. Having a presence in MidTown
has also been so convenient because most of their clients are
Downtown or close by in the suburbs. As they have added staff,
they reworked the space with everyone appreciating their loft
and roof-top deck. www.quezmedia.com
TRANSPORTATION FOR LIVABLE
COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE (TLCI)
™™Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating
Agency’s Transportation for Livable
Communities Initiative (TLCI) directs federal
funding to Northeast Ohio communities for
master planning transportation projects that
strengthen community livability.
™™MidTown Cleveland, Inc. partnered with the
City of Cleveland to create a new transportation
infrastructure master plan for the district around
East 55th Street and Euclid Avenue; a critical east
side intersection that has long been a visually
unappealing gateway between Cleveland’s
centers of growth and opportunity. As a result,
MidTown has been awarded $75,000 to study
the past, present and future of its central hub and
make recommendations for how the area can
better connect commerce, communities and transit
and truly become MidTown’s “town square.”
™™Despite its central location for the east side of
Cleveland, the intersection of East 55th Street
and Euclid Avenue has become a major gap
between MidTown’s developed western end and
the up-and-coming eastern section.
™™The TLCI funding will be used to review the
corner’s history as a regional transit center and
make recommendations for how to re-establish a
multimodal transportation hub in the heart of the
MidTown area.
™™MidTown will also make recommendations for
building densities, green spaces and pedestrian
and transit improvements to achieve a town
center for the area; something long called for
under previous planning efforts.
™™The finalized study will be used as a marketing
tool to attract additional investment into the
community and as a guide for future development.

WORKING TOGETHER
TO MOVE FORWARD
MidTown Cleveland, Inc. promotes
economic development and
innovations for our community and
stakeholders by advocating for
dense, mixed-use, transit-oriented
development. These redevelopment
projects have the potential to not
only return a significant portion of
vacant, underutilized real estate
back to productive use, but will also
catalyze future projects by creating
a dynamic urban district that will be
competitive in attracting businesses
and residents.

THIRD DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS
MidTown Cleveland, Inc. and the City of Cleveland are
collaborating on the construction of a new Third District
Police Station at 4501 Chester Avenue. This proposed
partnership model will provide Cleveland Police with a
modern and much needed Third District Station while
taking advantage of funding sources that save the City
money on construction costs through MidTown Cleveland
Inc.’s involvement. None of this would be possible without
the 28-year partnership between the City, Cleveland
Police and MidTown Cleveland, Inc. to create a safe and
economically viable neighborhood.

DUNHAM PARK
MidTown Cleveland, Inc., Dunham Tavern Museum and
Cleveland Botanical Garden are working cooperatively
to develop the vision for Dunham Park; a plan to bring
on line dynamic green space, urban farming and public
use amenities around the historically significant Dunham
Tavern Museum and existing Cleveland Botanical
Garden Green Corps learning farm. The goal of the
partnership is to transform the entire block between East
66th Street to East 69th Street, Euclid Avenue to Chester
Avenue into a major destination within the heart of
MidTown and the Cleveland Health-Tech Corridor. The
emerging master plan calls for the establishment of the
Cleveland Botanical Garden Green Corps’ education,
training and research headquarters on the site as well
as the expansion of the Dunham Tavern Museum farm,
green space and museum programming.

MIDTOWN TECH PARK, 6700 EUCLID AVENUE
Geis Companies is constructing a new 128,000-squarefoot office building in the heart of MidTown, which will
include labs and research space for Cleveland’s growing
biomedical and technology sector. The facility will be
LEED certified to lower tenant operating costs and make
the building more environmentally responsible. Ohio’s
Job Ready Sites program awarded a $3.5 million grant
to the project, which is scheduled for completion in fall
2011. The $25 million project is a partnership between
Hemingway Development and Terry Coyne.

7000 EUCLID AVENUE
Renovation of 7000 Euclid Avenue and demolition of
6900 Euclid Avenue is underway to create a 50,000square-foot office space. Hemingway Development plans
to redevelop 7000 Euclid Avenue into post-incubator
space for single and multiple tenants in support of the
Health-Tech Corridor’s business attraction strategy.
The building will be LEED certified, creating a campus
connection to the MidTown Tech Park.

VICTORY BUILDING
7012 Euclid Avenue is a mixed-use redevelopment
project, transforming this vacant former warehouse

A consortium of the world’s 22 largest foundations and banks
chose Cleveland as one of five U.S. metropolitan areas to share
$80 million in grant and loan funds. Cleveland will receive $14.75
million throughout the next three years to recruit new business to the
Health-Tech Corridor, using incentives enabled by the Living Cities
Initiative. This will bring additional jobs to the City and expand the
collective buying power of Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals
