The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority has supported trade and stimulated the economy in Northeast Ohio for nearly 200 years. While its economic impact upon the region is certainly important, a truly thriving Port Authority is one that works to strengthen the fabric of the community where its residents live, work and raise their families.

As a committed community partner, the Port Authority developed Ship Shape, an online program designed to teach maritime concepts to schoolchildren in grades 2-4.

The Port Authority is one of the region's most vital economic assets, and its maritime activities support:

• 11,000 jobs
• $822 million in business revenue
• $570 million in personal incomes
• $200 million in local, state and federal taxes
