Council president Blaine Griffin told Scene the topic is on the table for early 2023.
"We're talking with [minority and women-owned companies] right now," Griffin said after a Monday press conference last month unveiling the renovation of the Kovacic Rec Center, part of which was funded by the Cavs as part of the team's community benefits goals agreed to as part of the Q Deal. "We want to get input from them, to see how this [legislation] should be structured. To answer questions like, 'What should be the threshold before project labor agreements kick in?'"
