According to a report from the National Housing Crisis Task Force (NHCTF) a bipartisan coalition working to identify and scale innovations in housing production and preservation modular construction has the potential to reduce residential construction costs by up to 30 percent and accelerate construction timelines by up to half.  In December 2024, the City of Cleveland, in collaboration with the Site Readiness for Good Jobs Fund (SRF), issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to modular home manufacturers from across the country and around the world The goal of the RFP was to attract a manufacturer to establish a modular housing facility right here in Cleveland.  “Every Clevelander deserves access to safe affordable housing—and we're not going to let a tough development environment slow us down,” said Mayor Justin M “By embracing modular construction and working hand-in-hand with our residents smarter way to deliver homes and strengthen neighborhoods This is about building homes and building community at the same time.”  the City is partnering with Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity to install six homes this fall in the Buckeye and Clark-Fulton neighborhoods and some will be built with another innovative technology- structural panels that are constructed in a factory and assembled onsite These pilot placements will help city officials evaluate which modular or panelized designs and processes best serve Cleveland’s specific housing needs.  Community engagement has been a driving force behind this initiative In addition to funding the construction of these pilot homes with ARPA funding Ward 14 Councilwoman Jasmin Santana has played a key leadership role creating meaningful opportunities for residents to actively shape the project Through consistent outreach and collaboration she has ensured that community voices are not only heard but directly influence the planning and design of the modular homes coming to Clark-Fulton this fall.  “The response from residents has been very positive People are excited not just about the new homes but about being part of the process,” said Councilwoman Santana “This pilot shows what’s possible when we engage the community early and often—when neighbors feel heard The City expects to select a modular or panelized home manufacturer by the end of 2025 with production scaling up in the first quarter of 2026 This initiative not only addresses urgent housing needs but also supports economic development by activating thousands of vacant residential lots and creating new manufacturing jobs.  Cleveland’s investment in modular housing marks a significant step forward in reimagining how the city builds—and sustains—affordable high-quality housing for the future.  Cleveland City Council TV20 Watch Now 601 Lakeside Ave, Room 227    Cleveland, Ohio 44114 216.664.2000 MayorBibb@clevelandohio.gov Monday - Friday    9 AM to 4:30 PM         Privacy Policy  Sitemap By browsing our website, you consent to our privacy policy and the use of website cookies ExpandA stream of water arches through the air as the parade route is scrubbed ahead of Fulton’s Dutch Days parade Saturday to clean the streets ahead of the parade for the 51st Fulton Dutch Days parade ExpandAutoplayImage 1 of 8The annual cleaning of the streets kicks off the 51st Fulton Dutch Days parade Saturday volunteers throw water and scrub the streets ahead of the parade marchers Alex T.

Russell, Andrew.Russell@charter.com (Atlanta News First) - Fulton County police officers shot and killed a man in Atlanta’s Adamsville neighborhood on Thursday afternoon prompting a chaotic scene that drew several law enforcement agencies According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Fulton County police the county police department received a call about “suspicious persons” loitering at 3657 MLK Jr which police described as a “known drug location.” When the officers arrived several people started running — including 24-year-old Damario Smith where Smith allegedly pulled out a handgun Fulton County police said three officers then shot at him Smith was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital In a video posted by ATL Uncensored on Instagram a man is seen running across Martin Luther King Jr The video shows two officers pointing their guns before shots ring out which corresponds with the Fulton County Police Department’s account of the incident Fulton County police are not saying at this time if Smith was involved in any illegal drug activity said she wants to know how her nephew went from running from police to being killed by them What caused him to open fire on him,” she said who lives near where the shooting took place noted that Smith never pointed or fired his gun “I feel like they should’ve thought more about the situation he did not pull it up and draw it at them,” Maryam said crime is prevalent in the low-income area where the shooting happened She said this latest shooting is frustrating “They could’ve handled this more better than creating a murder scene because if they feel like if he was dangerous to y’all somebody better equipped for the situation,” said Maryam Officials said Smith was wanted on armed robbery and aggravated assault charges and had been out on bond since 2022 with an ankle monitor They said he was able to remove it and had been on the run since >> WATCH THE FULL PRESS CONFERENCE: more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles from several agencies — including Atlanta police Georgia State Patrol and the GBI — were at the scene the scene remained active and grew in intensity ANF’s First Alert Chopper captured several people trying to cross the crime scene tape At least two people were placed in handcuffs The GBI investigates any shooting incident involving an officer This marks the 23rd shooting involving an officer that the agency will look into this year Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts and members of the Board of Commissioners participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for Grady Health System’s new 20,000 square-foot freestanding emergency department which will be located on Highway 92 at South Fulton Parkway in Union City Commissioners in attendance included Vice Chair Bob Ellis as well as County Manager Dick Anderson and Chief Operating Officer Dr Pamela Roshell.  Fulton County and Grady officials were joined by Governor Brian Kemp The Freestanding Emergency Room is the latest collaboration in Fulton County’s longstanding relationship with Grady which dates back for more than a century.  Fulton County will contribute approximately $19.2 million in debt service payments for this project The new freestanding Emergency Center responds to a need for improved healthcare access in South Fulton.  In 2022 two hospitals in Fulton County closed their doors – one in Atlanta and one in East Point Fulton County collaborated with Morehouse School of Medicine and Ernst & Young to conduct the “Project Care” study which examined the impact of gaps in healthcare access for Fulton County residents This study confirmed the existence of a significant “healthcare desert” in South Fulton and a life expectancy difference of 7 years between residents in South Fulton and those in North Fulton.  Following that study Fulton County engaged Grady leadership in addressing the issue “We learned that the lack of accessible emergency care in South Fulton is literally costing people their lives.  I applaud Grady’s leadership for listening and I applaud them even more for taking real action Residents in South Fulton need this and they deserve it.” The new freestanding emergency room will open in Fall 2026 The 40-acre parcel provides the opportunity for future expansion to potentially include additional healthcare services.   — A harsh reality of the current fiscal climate when it comes to public education is making budgets work without having them impact students in a negative way increased energy bills and normal business costs rising the Fulton City School District is faced with laying off dozens of its employees the district is doing so in a way that will have as little impact on student's education as possible In a phone conversation with CNY Central, Superintendent Brian Pulvino walked us through the district's 2025-2026 draft budget Three major areas of concern which are impacting the current budget are escalating healthcare costs the district faces a 56% increase in healthcare benefits over the past three years adding up to more than $5.2 million in additional expenditures The district also says energy costs are up approximately $500,000 from previous years The initial rollover budget for 2025-26 was $99,319,545 on the expenditure side representing a 12.2% increase to the overall budget the expenditure side was brought into balance with the revenue to reach $94,197,840 budget and included a careful analysis of needs and spending on supplies and materials In a letter sent to district employees dated April 8 the board and the district's administration have carefully reviewed our financial situation and the necessary staffing levels for the coming year we have had to make the challenging decision to reduce positions.'' Pulvino explained to CNY Central the district must regrettably reduce 59 staff positions some of those positions will be reduced through retirement The superintendent broke down the number of reductions as follows: (These numbers do not represent the final number of positions eliminated as the budget still needs to be ratified and voted on and there could be other future resignations) Pulvino said affected staff may be recalled He said recalled employees will be contacted as the district receives resignations and retirement notices for the next school year The district is hosting community budget forums on April 15 and 21 We are now accepting applications for the NYS Trooper Entrance Exam!
