Cleveland’s lakefront transformation plan just cleared another hurdle

Updated: Sep. 08, 2025
By Rich Exner, cleveland.com


CLEVELAND, Ohio – The federal government has given Cleveland the go-ahead to start spending money from a $59.9 million grant announced earlier to help pay for the conversion of a short stretch of the Shoreway downtown into a boulevard.

Actual construction work is not expected to start until 2027. But the notice signed Wednesday by the Federal Highway Administration provides further assurance amid any concern the Trump Administration would try to claw back the previously awarded money.

That cornice looks great and that eighty year old pole out front is so very Bob Ross.

Burke Lakefront Airport: A millionaire’s playground Cleveland Mayor Bibb aims to reclaim

Published: Oct. 24, 2025
By Today in Ohio | cleveland.com


For decades, Clevelanders have dreamed about reclaiming the prime lakefront real estate occupied by Burke Lakefront Airport, and this week Mayor Justin Bibb made the boldest move yet toward turning that dream into reality.

The Today in Ohio podcast crew cheered Thursday for Bibb’s formal petitioning of Congress to bypass years of FAA red tape and allow the closure of what critics call a playground for the wealthy that walls off the public from Cleveland’s great asset, Lake Erie.

“This is for the wealthy. It’s not a public asset,” argued Leila Atassi on the podcast. “It’s time (to) stop subsidizing this airport for millionaires and just reclaim that land for everyone.”

Posted: Oct 27, 2025


CLEVELAND (WJW) – Construction is well underway at the Cleveland Metroparks’ new Patrick S. Parker Community Sailing Center, a project that’s transforming the East 55th Street Marina.

“As you can hear behind me, saws are going, iron is being hung,” said Metroparks CEO Brian Zimmerman, as work continues at the waterfront site.

Zimmerman said glass will be installed within the next two weeks, with a goal to have the building “winter tight” by Dec. 22. He added that the high visibility of the project—seen by an estimated 117,000 drivers each day—is helping to build excitement.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Mayor Justin Bibb says he fought to keep the Browns on the lakefront. The math suggests he might be lucky he lost.

While game days bring tens of thousands of fans downtown, they also come with a hefty price tag.

CLEVELAND — Overhead cranes and abandoned cabooses hint at the backstory of this building.
A once-mighty factory where workers made the machines that shaped America.

Now the Wellman-Seaver-Morgan plant on Cleveland’s East Side is getting a second shot at life.
A new nonprofit just took control of the property – a vacant behemoth on a 10-acre site in the city’s Central neighborhood.

Developers plan $60 million hotel at old mill site in the Flats


Six-story building will be turned into a new hotel. An operating partner to help develop and then manage the hotel is already secured. Tax credit decisions should come before the end of the year.

"The exterior of the Mill building will undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation. Historic brick, wood, and concrete exterior walls will be repaired. Existing openings will largely be retained, with minor modifications, and prepared to receive new windows and doors matching the historic appearance. All roofs will be replaced to match historic conditions, with new rooftop decks to be created on the existing roofs of the main mill."

Floors 2 through 6 will house the hotel. First floor will house the main entrance and hotel lobby. Hotel's restaurant will occupy the remainder of the first floor.

The interior of the two story warehouse will be converted to house commercial tenant spaces including a restaurant and event space on the first floor, and a data center on the second floor.

The project will create 83 new permanent jobs and 377 construction jobs.
