City and county officials rolled out a new comprehensive strategy for building and accelerating growth Downtown beyond the hours of the traditional, 9-to-5 work day.
CLEVELAND — Along with the Downtown Cleveland Alliance, city and county officials rolled out a new comprehensive strategy for building and accelerating growth in the Downtown core beyond the hours of the traditional, 9-to-5 work day.
In addition to filling vacant storefronts, the new Downtown plan seeks to double down on more office-to-residential conversions. In the wake of the pandemic, Downtown workers are spending less time Downtown and, instead, are only reporting to the office two or three times a week. This glutton of excess office space presents the opportunity to add more residential units in the downtown core, officials said.
Despite a greater focus on Downtown’s residential sector, officials aren’t abandoning all attempts at attracting new companies to Downtown Cleveland. Officials hinted at a renewed and revamped job incentive program that would provide incentives to companies new to the city and create at least 50 jobs.
The DCA plans on adding 20 additional Downtown ambassadors specially trained in de-escalation tactics to help complement the existing police presence downtown.
