Equitable Lakefront Development in Cleveland, Ohio
<p>My name is Arthur Hargate, I live in Little Italy in Ward 6 of Cleveland and I am writing to provide public comment on the NorthCoast lakefront plan in response to its presentation to the public on July 27, 2023. I am supplementing and reiterating much of the public comment I submitted in January of this year when this project kicked off.</p>
<p>Please note I do not stand to benefit economically from this possible development. That’s important, because we have learned through painful experiences in Little Italy, University Circle and its host neighborhoods and throughout the City of Cleveland that development proponents that do stand to gain financially are relentless at injecting themselves into the public involvement process so as to stack the administrative record (and overwhelm neighborhood sentiments) with their self-interested development marketing and blustery boosterism.</p>
