Mayor Justin Bibb’s plan to spend $15 million in ARPA funds to improve Cleveland’s West Side Market has been met with some pushback as other city leaders call for more help in underserved communities.
“We don’t have a decent store around here,” said Cece Gorden of North Collinwood. “We need help around here!”As she expressed her own concerns, several neighbors shared theirs.“We’re older people and we need better,” an elderly woman said.Those thoughts echo those of council president Blaine Griffin who, for nearly a month, has been vocal about taking a closer look at the mayor’s plan.
Just before May of last year, Dave’s Market closed its Lakeshore Blvd. location, leaving people like Ms. Gorden without a full service grocery store in their immediate area. While Griffin has raised concerns, he has also publicly states his support for the market and the need for investment.
