Two major development projects in Cleveland’s inner-ring suburbs won thumbs up on May 4 but in two different ways. In Lakewood, City Council gave its unanimous approval to the framework for an agreement with a Columbus-based real estate firm for a proposed $90 million development at the former downtown hospital site.
In Cleveland Heights, voters soundly defeated a measure that would have required a 1.07-acre park in the Cedar-Lee-Meadowbrook area, squeezing out a proposed $52 million mixed-use development that was already approved by the city. The final, unofficial count from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections showed 27 percent votes were cast for the park and 73 percent against.
