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.

ReImagine a Greater Cleveland
Issues of vacancy, abandonment and foreclosure have had a profound effect on the well-being of the nation's neighborhoods and residents.
