From Campus Vision to City Transformation Our approach to OneCleveland has been informed by a mission to be a big, bold 21st-century community-oriented project that delivers advanced information technology capabilities to achieve community priorities for economic development, learning, job training, research support, preeminence and distinction The Challenge Our goals are: To become the best university neighbor any city has ever had. To be a major contributor to the vitality of our inner city. To be a catalytic agent for overcoming the digital divide. To be a meaningful part of the economic vibrancy of our regional economy through successful commercialization and technology transfer. To take the incredible scientific and medical breakthroughs for which we are known all around the world and -- right in Cleveland – show how working together we can develop a model for a healthy Cleveland. To become an existence proof for the nation and the world. Dr. Edward M. Hundert, President, Case Western Reserve University

OneCleveland What the World is Saying Go, Cleveland, Go! The path to the Superbowl may not go through Cleveland this year, but citizens can boast about a municipal Internet project that is the most aggressive and ambitious in the nation. – Gerry Blackwell [internet.com - January 27, 2004]Gerry Blackwell The OneCleveland projectThe OneCleveland project may be the most ambitious "city cloud" yet. The project's aim is to blanket Cleveland in free public wireless Internet access, spurring national recognition of the city's technological renaissance. [Daily Wireless - January 16 th, 2004] The OneCleveland project is the most ambitious I have seen since launching Muniwireless last June.

OneCleveland and the FCC People all around the country are waking up to the economic opportunity that broadband availability provides. A few months ago, I spent time in Cleveland with a coalition devoted to reducing the digital opportunity gap for city residents. They are working with schools and local officials in a project known as OneCleveland. Together they are developing a backbone infrastructure to enhance economic opportunity and education in city neighborhoods. They know that access to broadband is critical to the future of their community and the future of the country and they are doing something about it. – FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, [March 12, 2004]
