Resources for Success The Beachwood Economic Development Department continues to lead proactive initiatives to bolster the city’s economic growth. One standout achievement is the creation of the One-Stop Business Resource Center, designed to provide concierge-level services and targeted support to meet the evolving needs of local businesses.
Furthering its mission, the department established a Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) to implement a holistic approach to economic development. Guided by a board of directors, the CIC forms specialized committees, including the Innovation Committee, which focuses on nurturing a thriving ecosystem for business commercialization, innovation, technology, research, and development.
In its inaugural year, the One-Stop Business Resource Center supported 22 companies, demonstrating its impact on fostering business success.
Reimaging Revitalization The Beachwood Economic Development Department is transforming the city’s commercial landscape through bold and innovative programs that foster revitalization and sustainability. A prime example is the launch of the Commercial Building Revitalization Loan Program, which incentivizes investment in commercial office buildings by offering forgivable loans for projects aligned with the city’s economic development goals.
