The Cleveland Browns gained another ally on Tuesday in their ongoing quest to build a domed stadium and entertainment complex in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park.
That came in the form of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, the region’s economic development organization with more than 12,000 members, one that touts itself as the “largest metropolitan chamber of commerce in the nation,” according to its website.
After sitting quietly on the sidelines for months as the Browns went back and forth with city and county leaders, the partnership released a statement on Tuesday putting its support behind the Brook Park project, according to a statement on its website:
“Professional sports are an economic engine, an element of our community’s appeal, and bring consistent spotlight to the region.
