City of Cleveland - News and Press Releases

City of Cleveland - News and Press Releases --This is not merely a dubious distinction--it is an atrocity. It is shameful to continue to build new, tax-abated property when old property which can produce taxes continues to go vacant or unrepaired or unrewarded. Conservation and thrift are unknown around here, as are an appreciation for a rich heritage. The bogus hypothetical numbers haven't worked, and it's time to pull the plug on this blatantly political scam which continues to wound a once-vital city.

Cleveland maintains 1st place ranking in new housing construction

June 28, 2006 – City of Cleveland officials working with Calabrese, Racek, and Markos, Inc. (CRM) Development Research today announced that Cleveland issued a total of 50 new for-sale residential permits during the first quarter of 2006, the most in Cuyahoga County and the eight-county region. The second and third cities in Cuyahoga County were Westlake with 27 permits and Oakwood with 19.

"This is further evidence that, together, we can create neighborhoods of choice in the City of Cleveland," says Mayor Jackson. "Cleveland has a lot to offer. We want to make sure developers, potential homebuyers, and everyone in Cleveland knows that we are a great City with quality affordable and market-rate housing in our neighborhoods."
