THE CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE 1,200 JOBS OF THE CLEVELAND DEFENSE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICE
When word came that the Pentagon wanted to close the Defense Finance and Accounting Service office in Cleveland, the city knew the situation was grim: the Base Realignment and Closure Commission upheld Pentagon recommendations nine out of ten times. But giving up was no option. The Greater Cleveland Partnership, working with Edward Howard, executed a communications campaign to tell the community and the commission what was at stake and build support for retaining DFAS Cleveland. When the commission took its vote, it overwhelmingly found in Cleveland's favor. 1,200 jobs were saved and an unexpected 500 more were won.
