Latest TMUD wish list is NEO-light

By /

Ironically, the TMUD program was the brainchild of a Cleveland developer to encourage more downtown Cleveland projects.

The benefits of more trees are simple — they help provide cooling shade in summer, a windbreak in winter, and more attractive business districts and residential areas that can increase property values.

Instead, today, it’s the latest of many new developments in the surrounding area that has more big projects in the works.
