Public Meetings Report for the week of May 13, 2024
👩🏿🌾🌱It is officially garden season in Cleveland. While many of us have been weeding and making room in our garden beds, the city of Cleveland has been making room for a different kind of weed. 🥦
In this week’s Public Meetings Report, we hear about changes to Cleveland zoning laws that would allow recreational cannabis dispensaries throughout the city. Plus, Cleveland takes steps to enforce the ‘Art Modell Law’ as the Cleveland Browns contemplate moving to Brookpark, and Cudell residents continue their campaign to save Cudell Commons Park.
Get the details in less than five minutes in this week’s episode.🎧📻👇🏿
