Grimsby Ave. Garden and Park, Reimagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Project

Overview

Project team

Lead: South Point Block Club

Partners: Westown Community Development Corporation

Project description and goals

The project will supplement an existing neighborhood garden, leading to a large pocket of functional green space within the block. The goals involve creating ecological diversity in the neighborhood, as well as facilitating access to fresh food and the maintenance of land values via beatification and investment. The garden will also help an existing community fabric strengthen by providing another gathering place.

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.
