Ohio Funds Cleveland Housing Innovation District with $2 Million Grant

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced $14 million in grants to support workforce housing across 10 counties, with Cleveland receiving $2 million. This funding, part of the second round of the Residential Economic Development District (REDD) program, aims to create 200 new housing units in Cleveland’s Housing Innovation District on the city’s near-East Side. The district encompasses significant portions of the Central, Hough, and St. Clair-Superior neighborhoods. Cleveland City Council authorized the district in August and enabled it with a tax increment financing (TIF) mechanism, projected to generate $64 million to $182 million over 30 years for public improvements like streets, sewers, and parks.

Cleveland Seeks Community Input on Future of Eastside Market After Operator Lease Termination

Cleveland Seeks Community Input on Future of Eastside Market After Operator Lease Termination

The city of Cleveland is actively soliciting community feedback regarding the future of its city-owned Eastside Market building, located near East 105th Street and St. Clair Avenue. The market is currently closed due to the absence of an operator. Residents are encouraged to complete a survey to express their preferences for the market's offerings and services. This input will be crucial for city officials in evaluating proposals from potential new operators, according to Zainab Pixler, who coordinates local food systems work for Cleveland's public health department. The city terminated its lease with Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Services (NEON) in April, citing NEON's failure to meet utility bill and property tax obligations under its $1-a-year lease agreement. This marks another effort to revitalize the market, which had been closed for over a decade before a 2019 reopening, following more than $900,000 in state and city investments for repairs and improvements.

U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown Leads Cleveland Labor Day Parade Amidst Campaign Activities

U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown Leads Cleveland Labor Day Parade Amidst Campaign Activities

U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown led the Cleveland Labor Day Parade this year, a role she undertakes annually. The parade, a long-standing tradition infused with Democratic politics since its inception in the early 1970s by Mayor Carl B. Stokes and U.S. Rep. Louis Stokes, saw Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton participating for the second time. Acton, who walked alongside Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, had a notably different reception this year compared to her appearance last year when she was the first announced Democratic candidate. Her campaigning during the parade created significant gaps between groups due to her interactions with the public. This event occurred shortly after an incident at the Canfield Fair where an armed man reportedly injured several people while attempting to approach Acton during a campaign stop.

The project aims to upgrade 11 stations along the Light Rail Green Line, replacing 40-year-old platforms with new concrete ones, installing tactile warning panels, redesigning ramps, replacing sidewalks, elevating a platform section for train access, and improving parking stalls. GCRTA General Manager and CEO, India L. Birdsong Terry, stated that once completed, every rail station in their system will be ADA accessible.
