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.
