During the 32-month planning process, Connecting Cleveland: The Waterfront District Plan attracted more than 5,000 people to over 200 community and stakeholder meetings, large and small, and generated thousands of ideas on how to best reshape Cleveland’s Lakefront and improve access between the shoreline and the adjacent neighborhoods.

While the Plan embodies a vision for the next 50 years that consists of projects both large and small, numerous projects are underway or have already been completed. Some larger accomplishments include the opening of the first lakefront housing at Quay 55 with 139 residential units in the restored Nicholson Terminal Building and constructing Phase I of a public pedestrian boardwalk along the northern and eastern edges of Dock 32.Through public and private partnerships, all of the projects completed total an investment of over $100 million dollars with a public funding investment of over $4 million.
