Want to know what's going on in Lakewood? Bryce Sylvester, Director of Planning & Development for the City of Lakewood, will discuss recently completed economic development projects, soon-to-be started projects, plus those that are under consideration for the future. Find out why Lakewood is attracting tens of millions of dollars in economic development projects. This is always a popular luncheon, so make reservations early!
The event will be held at the ever expanding University Tees in Lakewood's Lake Erie Building (a.k.a. The Screw Factory). Tours of the company and production facilities will be given after Mr. Sylvester's presentation
University Tees was born in 2003 out of Nick Dadas’ and Joe Haddad’s need for quality t-shirts to promote a college fraternity business when they were sophomores at Miami University. Their desire and vision for quality, promotional shirts quickly turned into a student-run business, and Dadas and Haddad eventually won a business plan competition at Miami.
Fifteen years later, University Tees is going strong and has expanded over 300%. The company’s custom shirts and other casual wear are on 180 college campuses nationwide and they have license agreements with 150 campuses. UTees’ success resulted in two additional companies, 717 Ink, which is a contract textile printer, and On Point Promos, which does printing, promotional products and embroidery.
This month's meeting is sponsored by Hospice of the Western Reserve
