Cleveland Industrial Retention Initiative

To a great degree, WIRE-Net’s success and influence lies in its much-applauded grass-roots connection to the manufacturing businesses that populate the industrial streets of northeast Ohio. 

The Cleveland Industrial Retention Initiative (CIRI) is an integral part of Mayor Frank Jackson's plan to link manufacturing businesses to valuable community resources that can help manufacturers improve operations and maintain profitability. Through its collaboration with WIRE-Net, CIRI continues its mission to raise industry awareness of available resources to stimulate business and neighborhood investment, foster job creation, and make Cleveland more 'user friendly.'

CIRI is here to help you succeed and grow in the City of Cleveland. In order to achieve this goal, we need to know more about your company and your experiences. Please follow this link to the survey.



  Mission Reminder CIRI has proven again and again, by anecdote and by formal review, that one-to-one, personal inquiry and follow-up, by a seasoned manufacturing outreach staff person, gets things done.  WIRE-Net is here to respond to concerns and address the obstacles faced by the area’s manufacturing businesses

CIRI helps companies throughout the city access financing, attract an dtrain employees, expand their industrial capacity, and build connections so they remain competitive. CIRI's Industrial Development Managers link manufacturers to resources and solutions in:
