In early 2020, west side residents celebrated the completion of a new, long-awaited, $8 million streetscape on Fulton Road in Cleveland’s Ohio City and Clark-Fulton neighborhoods.

Additionally, the developer will contribute $65,000 to a new Lincoln Heights Developer’s Fund to support the area.
The revelation last spring that Cleveland had been secreting its recyclables to a landfill for months may have finally met its match: Groups of residents on the city’s near west side are starting their own, albeit much smaller, recycling program.
