Living in the Valley

The settlement and development of the Cuyahoga River Valley has important cultural significance for the region and the nation as evidenced by the many National designations including:

• The Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area ,
• One of 13 American Heritage Rivers,
• A National Scenic Byway in America’s Byways program, and
• The Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

However, unlike many other historically significant sites, the Cuyahoga Valley continues to function in the same way it has for more than 150 years as an economic and technological hub for a global community. Live in the Valley and tap into the opportunities we have to frame a new regional identity as a leader in advanced energy, biomimicry, and a model of sustainability.
