Parkworks

For more than five years, Parkworks and Neighborhood Progress, Inc. have been partnering to provide support and guidance to community development corporations throughout Cleveland, and particularly in six strategic neighborhoods. In the Buckeye neighborhood, now under way is the development of the site of the vacated historic St. Luke’s Hospital, which closed in 1997. The product of a visioning process and master plan for the St. Luke’s Neighborhood District, the project will be home to the new Harvey Rice School, a neighborhood library, a community auditorium located within the former hospital itself, and 180,000 square feet of mixed-use development. Parkworks creates and implements plans for the development and rehabilitation of parks and open spaces. www.parkworks.org
