Retail Report

Municipal Finance (0.54 mb)

Different choices and opportunities inform a city’s development and affect their future viability. This study examines the retail development mantra, “grow, morph, or die” and its effect on city finance as one potential indicator of viability, or sustainability, as a community. The cities of Cleveland Heights and Euclid were chosen for the study due to their similarity in size and demographic make-up.

Retail development at Severance Town Center and Euclid Square Mall, respectively, are focus sites, representing re-investment and disinvestment in these inner-ring suburbs. Upon examination of retail development at the focus sites and differing impacts on municipal finances, policy recommendations to support long-term viability of communities related to retail development will be discussed.
