Good words

We at the Cleveland Restoration Society have a dream for the future of Northeast Ohio. Our dream is that traditional, older communities — urban, suburban, and town — are vibrant and preferable in the marketplace. That the downtowns of Cleveland, Akron, Lorain, and Elyria are a "24/7" hub of activity for a diverse mix of people who choose to live, work, and socialize there. That "cool" neighborhoods like Ohio City and Tremont are "cooler" than ever, and have competition from East Cleveland and Old Brooklyn, among other places. That Cleveland Heights, West Hill in Akron, and Wellington in Lorain County are "hot," for those that seek the lifestyle they offer. And that our natural areas remain wild, and our farmland continues to raise crops for our markets, and that we all prosper and enjoy a high quality of life in a healthy region in the 21st century.

— Kathleen Crowther

How will Lake Erie turbines look from the shore?

The simulated image at right shows what large, commercial wind turbines would look like if located one, three, or ten miles out on Lake Erie. It was created by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Office of Coastal Management. The view is from Whiskey Island along the Cleveland lakefront. (Click here for a larger image.)

 

 


This graphic was produced for Garden State Offshore Energy, which won the rights in October 2008 to build a $1 billion wind farm 20 miles off the shores of New Jersey. Wind turbines being considered for Lake Erie could be located 3 miles off shore.
