CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OH - Cuyahoga County and the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission will host a Virtual Public Information Meeting on Tuesday, July 13 at 6:00 p.m. and invites residents to hear about and discuss plans to create easier access to Lake Erie.
The Lakefront Public Access Plan was announced by County Executive Armond Budish in 2019, and aims to improve transportation networks and increase public access to Lake Erie in tandem with shoreline stabilization efforts.
Currently, 90% of the Lake Erie shoreline within Cuyahoga County is not publicly accessible. This plan will detail a multi-modal network of connected paths, all-purpose trails, boardwalks, roads, bridges and public access points across the Lake Erie shoreline made possible through partnerships with cities, the Metroparks, and property owners.

Backers claim the $150 million Coldwater Solar project will result in up to 150 megawatts of clean energy which they say would be enough to power about 27,000 homes.
They also say Coldwater Solar would generate up to $21 million in new tax revenue for the two townships as well as for county services and local school districts. In addition, it’s being claimed the project would create hundreds of new clean energy jobs during construction and several permanent positions for facility operations.
Some Ovid Township residents are opposed to the large solar project. Among their concerns are potential impacts on agricultural land and property values.
