| The 2006 NEO Barometer is an opinion survey of residents from Ashland, Ashtabula, Carroll, Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Trumbull and Wayne counties, designed as an instrument to measure the public’s perception of the region’s general economic progress, as well as their opinions on regionalism and economic development initiatives. |

The Barometer design team is a community partnership of several local organizations including the Gallup Organization, Cleveland State University, the Greater Cleveland Partnership, Team NEO and Kleinhenz & Associates with funding from The Fund for Our Economic Future. This collaboration provides focus around a common goal to provide both the public and decision makers with information regarding community perceptions about the health of Northeast Ohio's economy and the connectivity residents have with this region.
To better gauge community sentiment regarding priority setting for the region, the Northeast Ohio Barometer survey asked a number of questions on the topics of attracting and retaining businesses, attracting and retaining the young and talented, creating new jobs for the region and perceptions of regional performance. The survey also asked residents to assess the priority level of various activities. This report is meant to serve as a discussion on issues of shared concern such as job creation and business development.
