Project description and goals
The proposed garden and community market will serve both educational needs and functions of necessity, with the learning lab offering teaching opportunities to youth regarding sustainability and small business, and the garden itself filling space in what has become a “food desert”. Goals, then, involve investing into the human and social capital of the neighborhood via fostering sustainable and entrepreneurial initiatives, as well as providing communal opportunities that will tighten the neighborhood fabric.
About ReImagining a More Sustainable Cleveland:
Re-Imagining Greater Cleveland is a pragmatic, data driven strategy for the management and reuse of vacant properties in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The initiative builds on the work began in the 2007 Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland study, which was led by nonprofit community development organization Neighborhood Progress, Inc. (NPI) and Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative.
