To have a strong region, you must have a strong city. In order to be a strong city, you must have a strong core.

Our goal is not simply “getting back to normal,” rather, we must capture the momentum we had before the pandemic to accelerate our evolution into a model 18-hour, 15-minute neighborhood. We envision Downtown Cleveland as the vibrant, welcoming city center that weaves districts and surrounding neighborhoods into a seamless urban fabric, attracts modern economic activity, and provides a world-class experience for people of all backgrounds.
