The city of Cleveland sent an email to summit participants with a brief update on the post-summit work. Maureen R. Harper, the city's chief of communications, writes: "Mayor Jackson and (Case Fowler Center for Sustainable Value chief) Dr. Cooperrider continue to meet weekly to develop the next steps and drive towards our goal of a Sustainable Cleveland by 2019. In the coming weeks, I anticipate additional announcements and more information to be available about next steps."

• We have reviewed the notes, flip charts and foam boards that the break-out groups submitted at the end of the summit and we have compiled a list of 28 initiatives that were developed at the summit. The attached list contains a summary of each initiative based on this review as well as input from team leaders. These initiatives will be analyzed and prioritized as Sustainable Cleveland 2019 moves forward.
