Downtown renovation plans move ahead
The Friends of Downtown committee hosted a luncheon meeting yesterday to allow
downtown business owners to meet with the architect retained by Cleveland's Economic
Development Committee.
"The vision of the city's planning committee is to improve the attractiveness
of downtown," said J. Andrew Rice. "The purpose of today's meeting
is to begin to talk with downtown business owners about what they'd like to do
with their buildings."
Joiner said the goal was to get business owners to think about their own businesses,
and how they could improve the appearance of their structures.
Rice echoed Joiner's comment that "the main thing we're doing is cleaning
up," but added that "individual expression (in building appearances
and facades) is what will give the downtown area character."
The group was strongly encouraged to "start talking" about the renovation
project - to other business owners and to city council members.
UPDATE for real estate
Many people who are interested in finding a new place to live seem to do their
looking on weekends, so the Cleveland Advocate Update is going to make that process
more convenient for everyone - realtors and prospective buyers alike. On the
back of each Update published Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays will be an up-to-date
listing of available properties and land parcels in the area. As the Update is
distributed to all restaurants and convenience stores in Cleveland, this makes
those listings readily available to people searching for a new home. To advertise
in the Update Real Estate page, contact the Advocate office at 281-592-2626.
The cost is $5 for 3 lines for 3 days.
