Cleveland Council Considers Funding Update for Oasis in the City Renovations
Cleveland City Council has passed an emergency ordinance to update economic development assistance for a local health and wellness facility. The legislation, identified as Ord. No. 894-2026, amends a previous 2023 agreement to facilitate the renovation of "The Oasis in the City."
What's in the file
The ordinance, introduced by Council Member Gray, amends Section 1 of Ordinance No. 1156-2023 to update the terms for municipal support. According to the 894-2026-FOR PASSAGE-Amd O1156-2023 Oasis document, the measure:
- Authorizes the Director of Economic Development to enter into a grant agreement with Jordan Community Residential Center (doing business as Jordan Community Resource Center).
- Provides economic development assistance to help partially finance the renovation of the "The Oasis in the City" health and wellness facility.
- Repeals the existing Section 1 of Ordinance No. 1156-2023.
The ordinance was declared an emergency measure to support the usual daily operations of a municipal department. As an emergency measure, it requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all elected Council members to take effect immediately upon passage and mayoral approval.
