North Coventry Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Plan

Welcome to the project website for the planning process to prepare a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Plan for the North Coventry neighborhood in the City of Cleveland Heights. This plan will serve as a tool for the City and community partners to coordinate local services, target investments, track progress, and promote equitable access to resources, opportunities, and outcomes that advance the vitality of the neighborhood. Neighborhood revitalization will help to preserve local assets, provide for housing stability, and enhance economic mobility that allows for community improvements without the displacement of residents and other gentrification issues.
