Midtown's 10-acre sugar plant site may be one of Cleveland's biggest on the market The 10-acre site on Carnegie Avenue once housed operations for the American Sugar Refining Co.

It might be the largest single parcel of commercial/industrial land available in the City of Cleveland, and it could be a sweet deal for someone.

Today Shannan, our zoning administrator, told me our new TDM ordinance has saved about 100 permit applicants from needing a zoning variance for parking.

Still need to confirm the data, but it's a big deal! That at least cuts down on ~30 days of permitting time.

This type of program dramatically reduces the barrier to entry for transitβ€”it makes deciding to take the bus or train so much easier when the fare is already paid for
