Bibb launches "the Cleveland ERA," a new development agenda
In Cleveland, "era" is no longer just a word — it's an acronym.
State of play: On Tuesday, Mayor Justin Bibb launched what he's calling "the Cleveland ERA," or Economic Resurgence in Action.
It's a development agenda seeking to revitalize the city's economy and infrastructure.
What they're saying: "Cleveland built its legacy on industrial innovation," Bibb said in a press release.
"Now, we're opening the toolbox again — unlocking land, fueling development, and building a future where opportunity flows from our factories to our neighborhoods."
Zoom in: The Cleveland ERA includes waterfront development, business attraction via shovel-ready industrial sites, and the Cleveland Hopkins modernization effort.
Flashback: Bibb soft-launched "the Cleveland ERA" at his 2025 State of the City address.
"We can build things in Cleveland and lead the industrial revival of Ohio and the nation," he said then.
