Retail
Commercial Support Initiative
|
Cleveland Neighborhood Development Coalition (CNDC) provides members with a comprehensive toolbox of technical assistance, advocacy, resource identification and training opportunities to help neighborhoods strengthen their retail base. Check out Retail Design on a Dime storefronts, click here.
Retail Commercial Support Initiative This committee, comprised of Community Development Corporation (CDC) staff and directors, bankers, City and County representatives and developers, meets monthly to tackle issues of mutual concern. In the latter half of 2001, the group launched www.retailspacescleveland.com, with ongoing support from NAIOP. Cleveland community development coporations present neighborhood demographics, assets, and listings of available retail spaces with locations and descriptions. This website is updated on a regualr basis with more CDCs joining during updating, so bookmark it and visit often.
The
committee was instrumental in the adoption of the Pedestrian Retail Overlay
District ordinance, which protects the qualities of neighborhood retail
districts that encourage pedestrian activity. For more information about
the ordinance and a copy of the adopted legislation, click here.
An innovative and ambitious variation of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Main Street program, Cleveland’s version is based within the structure of existing CDCs. The program adheres to the Main Street program philosophy of incremental, comprehensive change based on direct, inclusive community participation.
