Commercial Redevelopment Fund

Due to the strong demand for this program, all funds are currently committed. Please check back to this site for updates. The Cuyahoga County Commercial Redevelopment Fund is specifically designed to overcome barriers to the full re-use of abandoned, idled or underutilized commercial, industrial and institutional properties within Cuyahoga County. The primary focus is directed toward urban and “first ring” suburban communities. Job creation and an increase in property values are expected outcomes of redevelopment. The Commercial Redevelopment Fund consists of three programs: the Municipal Redevelopment Program, the Private Redevelopment Program and the Local Parking Needs Program . The CRF can be utilized to redevelopment vacant buildings or demolish idled properties and make way for redevelopment. Eligible projects must include a significantly vacant (at least 40% vacancy for the last 2 or more years) building that is at least 20 years old. Eligible applicants are public entities, non-profit organizations, businesses, and developers located in the county. Funds are not available for projects with environmental contaminants other than asbestos and lead paint. Commercial Redevelopment Fund does not support big box, retail mall development, lifestyle centers or other large-scale retail projects. The Commercial Redevelopment Fund cannot be used for the development of for-sale housing. More detailed information can be found in the description of the Commercial Redevelopment Fund , Loan Subsidy and Forgiveness Schedule , our Green/Sustainable Building Incentives and the Community Benefit Calculator . The Department of Development requires the local community to demonstrate their support by having the local government in which a selected site is located approve a resolution of support for the project.

Brownfield Community Assessment Initiative

The Cuyahoga County Brownfield Redevelopment Fund Community Assessment Initiative provides professional services to conduct Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments on brownfields contaminated with hazardous substances and/or petroleum products in Cuyahoga County. The County contracts directly with experienced environmental consulting firms to conduct the assessment work. The most appropriate consultants will be assigned to a selected project. All Phase I environmental site assessments will meet the USEPA's "All Appropriate Inquiry" criteria; however, there is the option to complete all assessment activities under the standards of the Ohio EPA's Voluntary Action Program (VAP) and/or the State of Ohio's Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations' (BUSTR) 3-Tier Evaluation process. Eligible applicants are public entities, non-profit organizations, businesses, and developers located in the County. Funds are not available to any parties that caused or contributed to the contamination of the site. Please complete and submit an application if you are interested in receiving environmental site assessments under this Initiative. The Department of Development's brownfields staff highly recommends contacting them before applying. A committee, consisting of the County's brownfields staff and local community organizations, will review and make recommendations for suitable sites to the Development Director on a first-come-first-served basis. The following criteria will be used to evaluate applications: Community and Economic Benefits - Has the Applicant demonstrated the community and economic benefits of assessing and, subsequently redeveloping the project property? Redevelopment Viability - Has the Applicant demonstrated that the redevelopment of the project property is viable in the near-term? Risk - Has the Applicant adequately indicated the possible existing risks to human health and the environment at the site and demonstrated the need for assessment? Leverage - Has the Applicant adequately attempted to leverage additional funds and/or will County assessment funds stimulate additional funding for assessment/cleanup from other sources? The Department of Development requires the local community to demonstrate their support by having the local government in which a selected brownfield is located approve a resolution of support for the project. For additional information, contact the Department of Development's brownfields staff .
