Partners of the Hub


Founding Partner:

The Oberlin Project

The Oberlin Project is a completed, multi-year effort by the College and City of Oberlin to transition Oberlin to a prosperous, post-fossil- fuel economy and provide a national model for environmentally responsible community-level redevelopment. Prompted by the 2008 financial crisis, organizers from the City and College collaborated to form a temporary organization with a lifespan of four to six years to build a resilient and sustainable economy that would serve the people of Oberlin. Their efforts have been widely successful to date and have reached intended milestones on schedule. While the Oberlin Project’s work will continue far into the future, it followed its planned timeline and closed its central office in June 2017. The Oberlin Project served as an incubator for the Oberlin Food Hub upon its inception in 2016.
