Cleveland is seeking up to $10 million in state grants to clean up one of the largest stretches of vacant industrial land in the city. The proposal would designate 89 acres along railroads tracks on Cleveland's East Side as a special investment zone, which is needed for brownfield grants from the Ohio Department of Development. The city is working with the Site Readiness for Good Jobs Fund, a nonprofit formed by Mayor Justin Bibb to acquire and clean undesirable land for developers. The earliest they would receive new funds would be in early 2027.
