City leaders held a groundbreaking for the Cleveland Police HQ project at the intersection of East 75th and Opportunity Corridor, but the city is again looking for potential sites for the building.
Last December, city leaders held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the project at the intersection of East 75th and Opportunity Corridor.According to a request for proposals, the city is searching for a 250,000-square-foot building with 450 secure parking spaces and room for another 50 public parking spaces.
The 57-page document also specifies the city is looking for a location within a 2.5-mile radius of city hall. The current site, which sits largely untouched and overgrown with weeds since the groundbreaking last December, is about four miles from city hall.The city’s chief operating officer said a lot has changed since the location was selected in 2019 and that the city wants to see if a new location could save time and money on the project.
“There’s new opportunities from when they originally made the decision because of the real estate market in Cleveland and because of the cost to construct,” said COO Bonnie Teeuwen.She hopes a decision as to where the build the new headquarters will be reached by the end of the year.Teeuwen said much of that work can be utilized wherever the new headquarters ends up.
