The Cleveland Waterfront Coalition was established as a non profit in 1981. We have included on this website an abridged version of the newsletters from 1983-93 as well as newsletters from 2005 and 2006. Newletters from later than 2006 are web published only.

Our mission is to increase public awarenesss of Cleveland's waterfront as a public resource and promote planning and development that provides public access to a waterfront that is inspired by excellence in social, economic, and environmental best practices.

In the last few years, we have emphasized the parks and public spaces and their connections that would create a great public lakefront park system. It seems obvious to us that the Cleveland Metroparks will need to have a greater role on the lakefront for this to happen.

Enjoy our website! There are some great resources and links for your use.

Many thanks for the years of service by the "scribe" of CWC, Frank Barnett. Frank passed away in 2010. We hope his dream of the potential of our lakefront is realized.
