East 4th Street Neighborhood Development Project

East 4th Street, blighted after years of disinvestment, was targeted for redevelopment into a premier Cleveland neighborhood – a place where people could live, work and play.  CDA provided financing to assist in the acquisition of 15 properties to make this redevelopment effort possible.  Today, the East 4th district has six high demand apartment buildings that are fully leased and over a dozen restaurants.  Just minutes from the Gateway Complex, it is one of the most popular destinations in the city.
