East Cleveland Empowerment Plan

Safety First
The installation of security cameras throughout East Cleveland will not only enhance the safety of residents but also provide a sense of accountability for all individuals. By reducing crime, improving emergency response, and increasing community trust, this initiative will play a crucial role in shaping a safer, more secure East Cleveland for all its residents.
Community-Driven Progress
Bringing a community-owned grocery store to East Cleveland, partnered with local farmers, will not only improve access to healthy food but will also provide significant economic, health, and environmental benefits. This initiative will support local farmers, create jobs, and foster a sense of community pride and ownership, while making East Cleveland a healthier and more vibrant place to live.
Revitalizing Forest Hill Park
Revitalizing Forest Hill Park and promoting youth sports will bring multiple benefits to East Cleveland. Not only will it improve the physical and mental health of residents, but it will also foster economic growth, strengthen community ties, and create a lasting sense of pride. These initiatives will contribute to the overall well-being and vitality of the community, ensuring that Forest Hill Park becomes a cherished and integral part of East Cleveland’s future.
