College Interns for Energy Efficiency (CIEE) is a prorgam that assists local manufacturers in applying for energy efficiency grants from the state of Ohio Department of Development. College interns will help write grants to the state, which has approximately $1MM available for smaller manufacturers. CIEE estimates that grants will average $50,000 and hopes to assist five manufacturers in the first year.

FreshFork Market is a "virtual farmer's market" that allows local restaurants to purchase fresh food from local farmers. This supply chain solution uses an innovative web-interface to streamline and promote a sustainable local food model in which local products are delivered directly from the farm to the restaurant.
