Slavic Village Neighborhood Development Fund

At a glance

Built from the official City Council minutes of April 6, May 11 and May 18, 2026. The newest minutes posted are May 18; every Council meeting after that has an agenda only, and no committee minutes are posted since April, so anything that happened after May 18 is not in this page.

  • What: Ordinance 530-2025 would have the Director of Economic Development sign a Donor Advised Fund Agreement with The Cleveland Foundation to set up and run a Slavic Village Neighborhood Development Fund for grants, gap financing and predevelopment costs in that neighborhood.
  • Where it stands: On May 18, 2026 it was taken up under 'Ordinances to be Tabled'. The minutes show a motion 'that this be approved' carried 14-0, but the item is indexed as tabled legislation, so the practical effect was to table it. Confirm on Legistar.

Detail

  • Four other long-pending items were handled the same way that night: Section 183.021 land reutilization programs (1133-2023), the Neighborhood Development Subfund (113-2025), termination of a Housing Trust Fund loan to Emerald Development and Economic Network (334-2024), and Afford-A-Home Loan Forgiveness.
  • Executive summary attached: 2025_08_SVNDF.
