Grape Vine Garden, Reimagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Project

Overview

Project team

Head: E. 66th and Regent Rd. Block Club

Partners: Regent Park Community Garden, Slavic Village Development Corporation

Project description and goals

The project involves revitalizing a stretch of garbage-filled land into a grape vineyard. Goals include creating greater access to a fresh fruit in an area otherwise short of proximity to produce, as well as demonstrating to community members the possibilities of neighborhood regeneration through the actual transformation of fallow ground.

About ReImagining a More Sustainable Cleveland:
Re-Imagining Greater Cleveland is a pragmatic, data driven strategy for the management and reuse of vacant properties in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The initiative builds on the work began in the 2007 Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland study, which was led by nonprofit community development organization Neighborhood Progress, Inc. (NPI) and Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative.
