The latest proposed location for the Cuyahoga County jail is once again facing pushback from community leaders and activists.
CLEVELAND — It’s been a battle for years. And the latest proposed location for the Cuyahoga County jail is once again facing pushback from community leaders and activists.
The proposed site includes more than 72 acres of rolling fields and unused property between Granger Road, Transportation Blvd. and I-480 in Garfield Heights. It would cost the county $38.7 million to purchase the land, which was a sharp increase of $22 million from a previous quote of a smaller portion of the same property.
Consultants also pointed out the Transportation Road location would offer fewer buildable acres compared to the Garfield Heights site. Ronayne said the space would allow for services for behavioral health, job training and re-entry assistance for incarcerated individuals. “Thinking about the kind of policy changes and the kind of investments we need to make so we can hold families together and not rip them apart, I think should be the first thing on our minds,” said Josiah Quarles, the Director of Organizing and Advocacy at the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless .
“That facility’s not going to materialize right now,” he said of the proposals. “So I think a real emphasis on the people who are there right now would be greatly appreciated.”
