From Past to Prosperity

Clearing the way for jobs, investment and community revival

The Site Readiness for Good Jobs Fund is leveraging Cleveland’s industrial past into a platform for economic opportunity. By turning vacant, contaminated land into clean, development-ready sites, we’re setting the stage for jobs, growth and lasting community investment. 

Our Impact

  • Strengthen Cleveland’s economic competitiveness with best-in-class, job-ready sites
  • Advance resilience through clean energy and green infrastructure
  • Create good jobs and ensure Clevelanders can access them
  • Revitalize neighborhoods through smart design, aligned investments, and pathways to build wealth
This is more than environmental cleanup.  It’s about uplifting communities and unlocking Cleveland’s competitive edge. By reclaiming forgotten spaces, we’re creating walkable, connected and thriving places where Clevelanders can work, live and build a future – close to home.
