CNDC
Assists Entrepreneurs
ECDI (Economic and
Community Development Institute) formally launched the
Cleveland program on July 17 and is open for applicants. The
organization is a welcome resource for new and expanding neighborhood
scale businesses in Cleveland. ECDI will fill a gap in the credit
industry by offering loans to under-served entrepreneurs. CNDC is
serving as a starting point for potential applicants in terms of
getting them ready for loan application readiness. If
applicants are ready to move forward (have a complete business plan),
they will be referred to an ECDI relationship manager. If a
small businessperson is not ready to submit a loan application to
either ECDI or another funding source, there are several routes of
assistance available. CNDC will help direct them to the most
beneficial course of action. If you have a potential client or a
small business ready for the next step, please direct them to Wendy
Sattin at CNDC for an initial discussion.For more information about
ECDI's loan program contact Eric Diamond at ediamond@ecdi.org or call
216-456-2673.

to coordinate bicycle related activities in the city's
neighborhoods. A task force was formed to develop a
communication network for CDCs that incorporate bicycling in their
neighborhood improvement strategies. At the first meeting,
participants learned about neighborhood initiatives to add bike lanes
to main roads throughout the city, reconstruction of sidewalks and
crosswalks, connections to the parks and the Towpath Trail and events
based on cycling. Bike Cleveland maintains a comprehensive
website, including bicycling events. CDCs are
invited to contribute to the site.

From Colleen Gilson, Executive
Director
As a 2011 American
Marshall Memorial Fellow (AMMF) of the German Marshall Fund of the
US, I have the distinct privilege of joining my fellow alumnus each
year in welcoming the European Marshall Fellows to the US,
specifically, our great City. This year, I had the opportunity
to share our US Independence Day with six new friends! Mihaita
Cazacu of Bucharest, Romania; Youssef Faraj of Brussels, Belgium;
Jasa Jovićević of Podgorica, Montenegro; Vera Marin of Bucharest,
Romania; Itxaso Muñoa Salaverria of Brussels, Belgium; and Vesselin
Alexandrov Zahariev of Sofia, Bulgaria joined me (and fellow AMMF Zoe
Carlisle) as participants in the Westpark Kiwanis Annual 4th of July
Parade. Along the parade route we shook hands and passed out
candy to children. My new friends marveled at how many people
lined the streets celebrating America on her birthday!
Afterward, in true Westpark 4th of July tradition, we grabbed lunch
and cold drinks ;) at one of the many local pubs where Zoe, my
husband Sean and I relayed our passion for Cleveland to people
experiencing our City for the first time. Truly, it was an honor to
share a small piece of my family and neighborhood tradition with
these remarkable people. I am blessed to have expanded my
circle of friends. I am hopeful they once again return to the
City I love!
