SOUTHSIDE GATEWAY COMMUNITY PLAN


REIMAGINING SOUTHSIDE GARDENS


THE SOUTHSIDE GATEWAY INITIATIVE INVOLVES PLANNING AROUND THE TRANSFORMATION OF
PUBLIC AND HUD-ASSISTED HOUSING. WHILE CENTERED AROUND THE FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT
OF SOUTHSIDE GARDENS, THE PLANNING ACTIVITIES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD INVESTMENT WILL
EXTEND TO THE GREATER SOUTH LORAIN, OH COMMUNITY. 

These strategies will be based on community input and may include plans for:



 * Market-responsive mixed-income housing and new community amenities

 * Energy-efficient, sustainable, healthy, and accessible housing units

 * Infill development and re-purposing of deteriorated structures

 * Infrastructure improvements & neighborhood beautification (streets,
   sidewalks, lighting, parks, etc.)

 * Business development and retention

 * Improved access to workforce development, education, and health services


PLANNING AREA

 

The area covered by the Choice Neighborhood planning grant includes the
geographic boundaries in South Lorain, Ohio:
 

 * North: Recently reopened Republic Steel Plant, along 28th St

 * South: High-tension power line along 36th St

 * West: Broadway

 * East: Oakwood Park along Grove Ave.

 

At the center of neighborhood is the target public housing community—Southside
Gardens (the Site).

 

The general approach to determining boundaries was to focus on physical edges,
such as the steel plant and high-tension power lines, as well as mixed-use
corridors along Broadway and Grove Avenue.
