NS Sponsors OEDA Annual Summit Keynote

Neighborhood Strategies is proud to be the Keynote Sponsor of the Ohio Economic Development Association’s Annual Summit 2025, happening this October in Akron, Ohio!

This year’s keynote, presented by Edward Erfurt, Chief Technical Advisor at Strong Towns, will explore one of the greatest barriers to sustaining Ohio’s economic momentum: affordable, accessible housing. But the housing crisis isn’t just about shortages or vacancies; it reflects deeper issues in how we build, finance, and support places to live. Erfurt’s keynote will explore a new path forward, moving beyond top-down models to create resilient, adaptive housing ecosystems where incremental change makes every neighborhood stronger.

Our firm is happy to join OEDA in their mission to advance economic development across Ohio, fostering economic growth, prosperity, and opportunity for all residents.
