In this interactive session, we will focus on these four objectives:

  • Updating business leaders on the city’s progress and plans for the future – with a focus on 2013.
  • Gathering input on how the city can best meet business leader’s needs in order for them to stay and thrive.
  • Understanding the implications of the city’s progress and plans so that business leaders can better plan their future.
  • Inviting more leaders into the conversation on a long term basis, i.e. join the Future of Toledo.
