Indoor Agriculture in Cleveland
 CNDC's
Sustainable Business Sub-committee worked with the Baldwin Wallace Sustainable
Planning Clinic to determine the feasibility of developing an indoor
agricultural business in an urban neighborhood in Cleveland.
They researched four uses: aggregator space, indoor composting,
aquaponics (indoor crops) and aquaculture (cultivation of
fish). The study determined that aquaponics would be the most
beneficial and cost effective here in Cleveland. The full study
will be posted on the CNDC website (http://www.cndc2.org )
at the end of September.

Free Financial Coaching Program Moves to Neighborhood
Progress
WECO Fund, the nonprofit that for years helped
Clevelanders attack personal debt and building up savings has closed.
But, its FREE financial coaching program lives on.
Neighborhood Progress, Inc. has absorbed the WECO coaching
program. This is a new venue for Neighborhood Progress who has
historically focused on real estate development, but has wanted to
focus more on human development and social development, according to
Sheri Dozier, Senior Program Manager for Neighborhood Progress.
Coaching turns the concept of financial counseling inside out.
The Coaching program does not pay the bills for consumers, but
shows them how to pay their bills. A coach can teach a consumer
financial terms that banks use if they wanted to negotiate an
interest rate reduction with their credit card and the coach might
role play as a creditor.
People interested in the coaching program can pick up class schedules
or enroll in free classes at the Financial Education Center, 11461
Buckeye Road or by calling 216-370-5630 or by email to danielle_thomas@keybank.com.
