Leaf logoDowntown Public Investment

With work on the Cleveland Street Streetscape complete, city officials have begun focusing on marketing the new downtown (see market study). A Retail Request for Proposals to attract businesses along the newly-completed thoroughfare was released Jan. 13, and a fresh, new logo that will be placed on street banners and other collateral materials has been adopted. Dubbed "The Cleveland Street District," regular street festivals and events are expected to draw patrons to the area. A designer/builder for the Downtown Boat Slips will be chosen in the first part of 2008, with construction of the 120 to 149 public boat slips at the foot of the Memorial Causeway Bridge slated to begin the following fall. The project should take around a year to complete and cost about $11-million.

Sparked by the resurgence of residential construction, Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins has recently joined Starbuck’s Coffee as national chain franchises that now do business downtown.

Additionally, new downtown housing has already begun to kick-start commerce in the Cleveland Street District. New high-rise condominium/mixed-use projects in the downtown core are currently under construction, including:
