Public meeting tonight on downtown renovation
Council chambers at Cleveland City Hall will be the location for tonight's public "town
hall meeting" regarding the proposed renovation of the downtown area - designated
in the City's 5-year plan as the Central Business District. Architect Carl Joiner,
who has been retained by the Economic Development Committee to develop preliminary
drawings for the renovation project, will be on hand to hear citizen's suggestions
and comments. Part of the city's plans call for a unified, themed look to downtown;
putting all utility lines underground; and installing lampost-style lighting.
The meeting, which begins at 7 p.m., is open to the public.
