On The Waterfront
After decades of neglect or haphazard, isolated investment, the stars appear to be aligning to turn Cleveland’s waterfronts into thriving, regional assets. What needs to be done to enliven the lakefront and the banks of the Cuyahoga River? How should we stimulate economic activity and make it easier to touch the great watershed that ought to define Greater Cleveland? After substantial public investment in parks, museums and a lakefront football stadium, what’s the role for the private sector? How can commercial needs at the port and Burke Lakefront Airport be integrated with greater public access? Those are just some of the issues on the agenda for
the next installment of our Cleveland Connects community conversation series.
Join the conversation led by Mike McIntyre, Plain Dealer Columnist, and Lisa Schroeder, President & CEO of Riverlife of Pittsburgh, along with a panel of community stakeholders, as we discuss strategies for our waterfront.
 • Moderator, Mike McIntyre, Tipoff Columnist for The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com. Mike has been at the newspaper since 1990. In 2010, he became host of the “The Sound of Ideas,” a daily public affairs talk show on 90.3 WCPN ideastream.
 • Idea Leader, Elisabeth (Lisa) Schroeder, President & CEO of Riverlife, a non-profit organization working to transform Pittsburgh’s three rivers into the city’s front door for redevelopment. The riverfront master plan is now 80% complete with the delivery of eight multi-million dollar waterfront projects.
