The city received (pending action) a $945,000 federal grant to study how to redevelop two underused city-owned sites near fixed rail — the Van Aken District Phase 4 parcel and the Lee Road community building area. The money pays for expert advisors to assess market demand, deal feasibility, and financing gaps.

The county's annual review confirmed all existing tax-break and PILOT development agreements should continue. Notably, the Urban Renewal District covered its own debt service for only the second year ever in 2025.
Board of Zoning Appeals & City Planning Commission - Aug 4, 2026
A cooperative bakery run by nine bakers wants to open at 20106 Chagrin Boulevard and teach baking classes to children and adults, weekdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The site needs a zoning exception for a specialized instructional school and a parking variance because the building has one fewer space than code requires.
