  • Toledo's Growth Strategy Gets CEO Reality Check
    Jan 25 2026
    # Podcast Episode Summary

    **Toledo's Wake-Up Call: Has a Decade of Investment Paid Off?**

    In this eye-opening episode, we explore a candid assessment of Toledo's economic strategy that's making waves in the business community. CEO Darren Moore pulls no punches as he questions whether billions in public investment—from ProMedica Foundation grants to Build Back Better funds—have truly moved the needle for Ohio's Glass City.

    While downtown offices sit empty and young professionals head elsewhere for nightlife, Moore highlights both the challenges and unexpected opportunities: Toledo's world-class logistics infrastructure sits underutilized, yet low entry costs and innovative museum exhibits in digital assets could attract high-net-worth investors. The verdict? Toledo needs aggressive deal-hunting and risk capital, not just well-meaning committees, to transform its multimodal advantages into job-creating wins before hungrier cities steal its thunder.
