The Departments of Economic Development, Community Development, City Planning and Building & Housing have come together to execute the vision behind Mayor Frank G. Jackson’s Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI). By deploying new tools, programs, and resources, NTI aims to provide healthy, equitable and sustainable opportunities to build wealth and stabilize neighborhoods. The Administration seeks to build communities where all residents are able to achieve their full potential.
Mayor Jackson has leveraged $25 million in City bond funds to attract an additional $40 million in bank, non-profit, and philanthropic funds that are strategically targeted towards commercial, residential, and entrepreneurial and workforce training programs. Engaging selected partners that share the vision of equitable neighborhood development, the Administration is working to ensure that everyone has a part in Cleveland’s growth.
The goal of NTI is to invest in disadvantaged neighborhoods just outside growth zones and encourage the private market to return to these areas without the need of public incentives. Initial efforts are concentrated in neighborhoods that were chosen based on the result of CORE Redevelopment Strategy Study done by the Cleveland Planning Commission. The selected areas are in proximity to large, anchor institutions that are interested and committed to transforming the neighborhoods they are located in, as well as provide job opportunities to their residents.
Target Areas:
- Circle North
- Buckeye-Woodhill
- Clark-Metro
- East 79th Street (between Central Ave and Kinsman Rd)
