Division of Harbors

The City of Cleveland Division of Harbors (DOH) is a sub-unit to the Department of Port Control (DPC), which includes Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Burke Lakefront Airport. The DOH is charged with maintaining and maximizing city owned assets (river bulkheads and adjacent property) sited on the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie. This also includes monitoring leases for these properties.

The primary objective of the DOH is to improve land usage under its jurisdiction and support change and modernization of the Cleveland waterfront. Cleveland’s waterfront continues to be distinguished by its direction on sustainability. The DOH looks to set new standards for best practices, not only on the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie, but throughout the Great Lakes.
