Shaker Square Revitalization Moves Forward

Phase two has begun in the highly anticipated Shaker Squareredevelopment

project. After several weeks of engaging with area residents, business owners 

and stakeholders for feedback, city officials say they finally have a “dream team”

in place to help breathe new life into the east side Cleveland neighborhood.

Ward 6 city councilman Blaine Griffin said that five key firms have been selected

to take leading roles in the project, which will improve, enhance and revitalize the

public spaces around Shaker Square. Griffin explained that the city is committed 

to the team of experts, some of whom have worked on other major projects in the

Cleveland area, to help get the Shaker Square project off the ground. For more on
