Reclaim the dream

The economic collapse has knocked hard and fast against many of the underpinnings of the middle class: homeownership, education, healthcare, employment and retirement, and against the economy of northeast Ohio in general. But it also has escalated change in the way we approach our individual economies and the way we, as a region, approach the bigger economy.

This site is a service of WKSU public radio, the Akron Beacon Journal and The Center for Community Solutions. It's devoted to examining the challenge to personal and regional economies, and connecting you and others in the discussion of solutions.
