Cleveland, while Ohio’s second largest city, is the cornerstone of the state’s largest metropolitan area. Located in the northeast corner of Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie, the area is home to many of the state’s manufacturing and financial services firms. Over the past three decades, the area has undergone a renewal of national note. The Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians play in much-admired new stadiums regularly filled to capacity.  The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened in Cleveland in 1995. And the local economy has diversified dramatically to become more vibrant than ever before. Plus the world renowned Cleveland Orchestra and Cleveland Museum of Art have continued to thrive. What’s more, Lake Erie offers a broad range of recreational opportunities. Cleveland has become one of the region’s best places to live and work.
