Demolition work is expected to begin this week on a vacant building that sits atop the hillside at Irishtown Bend in Ohio City.
CLEVELAND — The demolition of the former Front Steps Housing and Services building located in the 1500 block of West 25th Street serves as a major visible step forward for future plans to stabilize the entire hillside and, later, the construction of a 23-acre public park.
“This building has a long and storied history in the neighborhood. For Front Steps Housing and Services, this was their former home and they have since moved down the street. They have really done some incredible work in transforming people’s lives over the years,” McNair said. “In the coming days here, the Cleveland Metroparks is going to be proceeding with the demolition of this site.
“The Cuyahoga River represents a $4 billion economic engine for our region,” McNair said. “We have known for a number of years now that the hillside… is unstable and is slowly progressing toward the hillside. It’s important to let the Port do its work and stabilize it.” “Ohio City is a waterfront neighborhood that can neither see nor touch the water,” McNair said. “I think as you see each these properties start to come down, we’re really opening up those amazing views of downtown and the entirety of the river valley.”
