From rustbelt to revitalized: Remediating and repurposing Cleveland’s industrial wastelands
Cleveland has approximately 4,000 to 5,000 acres of vacant, abandoned, or underutilized industrial property. The Fund, established in 2023 by Mayor Justin Bibb in partnership with Cleveland City Council, is addressing the multifaceted challenges of contaminated, fragmented, and legally complicated brownfield sites. Learn how they are breathing new life into 1,000 acres of neglected real estate, creating 25,000 jobs, supporting neighborhood vitality, building wealth among residents, and enhancing environmental sustainability in our city.
