After more than a decade of planning, work is set to begin on the $60 million Irishtown Bend stabilization project.
CLEVELAND — On the banks of the Cuyahoga River, Cleveland leaders gathered Friday to mark the beginning of work to stabilize the hillside at Irishtown Bend. It is a project that has been in the works for more than a decade.
“The danger that this hillside could catastrophically collapse into the shipping channel and impact our $4.7 billion million maritime shipping economy and the 22,000 jobs it supports was very real,” said Port President and CEO William Friedman. “Protecting this shipping channel is critical to keep our economy flowing, but also a priority for the Port is maximizing the potential of Cleveland’s waterfront – balancing tourism, public access, recreational uses, and, of course, vital job-creating industrial uses. All these things mean economic growth and an improved quality of life,” Friedman said.
“So many of us have fought for so long to get this project done, and today we finally begin this new chapter for our lake and for Cleveland,” said Brown. “The Irishtown Bend project will play an important role in the continued economic resurgence of Northeast Ohio, connecting communities with the lakefront, protecting vital waterways, and encouraging future economic and maritime development.”
“This project will dramatically change the Cleveland landscape,” he said. “It is a symbol of Cleveland’s history and a positive reflection of where Cleveland is going. This is so much more than a major infrastructure project, it is also the foundation for equitable access to new high-quality public green space for Cleveland residents, including thousands living in public housing, and visitors of all different backgrounds.
