Historic Preservation + Easements
Downtown Cleveland is a national leader in historic building reuse and preservation. Downtown Cleveland, Inc. has advocated for the creation of our ten nationally designated historic districts in Downtown Cleveland. The two key programs for adaptive reuse are historic tax credits and historic easements which can be layered with other development tools. Let us connect you to helpful tools to preserve and update our historical city center.
Business Incentives and Resources
The City of Cleveland offers a variety of loans and grants to help new and expanding businesses locate throughout the city, including downtown. Downtown Cleveland’s Economic Development team offers concierge services for businesses interested in city programs.
