The District One Natural Resources Assistance Council (NRAC) issued its preliminary project scoring for #CleanOhio grants in Cuyahoga County.

Are you interested in greenspace conservation? The District One Natural Resource Assistance Council (NRAC) distributes funds from the Ohio Public Works Commission's #CleanOhio Green Space Conservation Program, which funds green space acquisition, protection, and restoration in Cuyahoga County. The NRAC has 2 positions open: one to serve as an environmental representative and another to serve as a business/planning/real estate representative. Visit our site to learn more about serving on the NRAC, or contact Meghan Chaney at [email protected]. 

Last month we released a progress report on our Single-Family #zoningreform work being undertaken by the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission with our partners. There are more than 13,000 parcels that no longer require variances because of code updates in Cuyahoga County--and one more community is on the cusp of adopting changes soon.

Today, we celebrated the start of construction on the transformative 2.7-mile North Marginal Trail between E. 9th and E. 55th streets on Cleveland’s east side lakefront! The new trail is a partnership between Cuyahoga County, which will manage construction of the project, the Cleveland Metroparks, which will manage and operate the trail once constructed, and the City of Cleveland. We're thankful for the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation and the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) for their generous support on this project. Cheers to better connectivity and an improved lakefront, Cuyahoga! Read more at bit.ly/3WH5fqI.
