Launch Lorain Charrette

CLEVELAND, OH

Ohio City Inc. initiated the charrette process as a first step in developing a shared vision for Lorain Avenue as Ohio City’s Main Street. The goals of Launch Lorain are to: establish a general vision for Lorain Avenue; rather than specific redevelopment plans for individual sites; create better connections to adjacent residential areas along Lorain Avenue; reinforce private investments that are occurring in the corridor; and identify new opportunities for development and urban amenities along Lorain Avenue and in the area south of Lorain. Kent State University’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC) facilitated the community design charrette for Lorain Avenue and SoLo with a focus on transportation, retail development, housing, green space/ recreation, multi-modal connections, and safety.
