Having affordable, comfortable places for the community to gather for events, sports and even voting can be hard to find in Cleveland’s Kinsman and Woodland Hills neighborhoods.

Except for one brief instruction, property-owning freight railroad CSX Transportation didn’t participate in a feasibility study for extending the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad’s (CVSR) passenger trains into Downtown Cleveland.

Mayor Justin Bibb’s administration is requesting an important amendment to the city’s riverfront tax increment financing (TIF) district that would do three things. One spells out exactly what infrastructure work would be done. A second would extend the 30-year TIF to 42 years.
