Cleveland is a city in despair. Its businesses are leaving; buildings are falling apart; public schools are ever losing money. Along with abundant talk and complaints, there are in fact a few action plans on the table. One idea is to create high-tech corridors of biotechnology and other such industries through "internationalization"--drawing foreigners with advanced degrees to Cleveland in the hopes they will eventually start their own firms. This plan is no stranger to dying Rust Belt cities trying to reinvent their traditional manufacturing-heavy economies.
