The meeting began at 9:37am. We started with 1014-2024, an ordinance which provides Neighborhood Family Practice with economic redevelopment assistance as it expands it's practice to a new location at the abandoned CVS building at the corner of W 130th & Lorain.
Alicia Moreland @DDutchCreative 5/14
Neighborhood Family Practice is the only federally qualified healthcare provider on Cleveland's westside with a focus on primary care. They served over 22K patients in 2023.

Loan terms: 10 years; 3% interest fixed. Anticipated benefits: increased income tax revenue and the absorption of vacant space. NFP will enter into a Community Benefits Agreement for project costs less than $20 million as well as entering a Workforce Agreement with the city.
Alicia Moreland @DDutchCreative 7/14
It's been noted that 3 pharmacies have recently closed in the westside. McCormack: " We're utilizing these former pharmacies to ensure they don't all become Spirit Halloweens" Santana: "...Or vape shops" 😂
Alicia Moreland @DDutchCreative 8/14
McCormack continues: "We can't trust corporate pharmacies to provide these services to our community". The new NFP will utilize the drive-through pharmacy structure already in place at the vacant CVS.
Alicia Moreland @DDutchCreative 9/14
The 500K loan is from a revolving loan pool that has been lent out for redevelopment projects like for many decades.

1014-2024 was approved. 1009-2024 is up. This ord. allows for the application and acceptance of the Brownfields Remediation Program Grant, which will provide funds necessary to cleanup the National ACME site, a Superfund site in Collinwood. The cleanup project will cost ~9mil.
Alicia Moreland @DDutchCreative 11/14
Superfund site info: The state grant is for 7.6 mil. The city is required to match 2.5 million. (But there's a 3.5 million number floating around too?). The clean-up is supposed to be over 9 mil. None of the math is matching up here. 🤦‍♀️I'm confused. 🤷‍♀️ cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/CurS…
