CLEVELAND — The Cleveland City Council’s Development, Planning and Sustainability Committee signed off on a trio of proposals to inject much-needed capital to bolster development in the city’s Southeast Side, including the Union-Miles, Mount Pleasant and Lee-Harvard neighborhoods, which have suffered from historic disinvestment in recent decades.
The Southeast Side revitalization plan came together through dozens of meetings with non-profit agencies, community development corporations and the city council members representing multiple East Side wards. The commercial corridor improvements initiative seeks to acquire, renovate or raze commercial properties in five specific areas where public investment could lead to private investment, city officials said. The plans also call for the"white-boxing" of specific commercial properties, which includes the complete emptying of the property before putting it on the market as a"blank canvas" for potential developers.
At East 94th Street and Miles Avenue, just a couple of blocks away from one of the targeted commercial corridors, homeowner Theo Hunter said he was encouraged by the revitalization plan.
