Over the coming decades, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District will be making one of the largest infrastructure investments in the region's history to address combined sewer overflow (CSO) to Lake Erie and its tributary streams. In order to leverage the District's investment, a partnership has formed between The Cleveland Foundation, LAND studio and the District. The partnership marries engineering with community development in an innovative way to better serve Greater Cleveland.This report is one component of a holistic strategy to leverage the District's investment for community benefit, including job creation, vacant land strategies, and neighborhood re-investment.
