Cleveland could get an economic boost of $2.1 billion to $3.7 billion because of its location on Lake Erie, but only if federal officials follow through with money to clean up the Great Lakes. That's the conclusion reached this week by the Brookings Institution, a research and policy group in Washington, D.C. The nonprofit group released a city-by-city analysis gleaned from its own November 2007 report. That study had projected that environmental restoration of the lakes could bring $80 billion to $100 billion in short-term and long-term economic gains to the eight-state region. Wednesday's report said cleaner water for fishing, swimming, boating and drinking would translate into direct benefits to each city near the Great Lakes.
