Head: Fresh Start

Partners: Bethany Baptist Church, Masjid Bilal

Project description and goals

Recent losses of neighborhood grocery stores have left the Hathaway neighborhood in Glenville devoid of fresh food options. The goal of this project, then, is to fill this void with the creation of a neighborhood market and garden. Besides food access, other goals include community regeneration through investment in both financial and human capital, as well providing for physical proof that if the community can heal a vacant plot than they the neighborhood at-large can be affected as well.

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.
