Smoothing the way for businesses in Cleveland’s Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood to hire locally

Located just west of Downtown Cleveland, the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood is experiencing a growth of both new businesses and new residents.

It makes sense then that there's a push to match those neighborhood residents with jobs at local businesses.

"Hire Local" was officially announced Tuesday with a goal of having 50 new full-time jobs filled in the next 18 months.
