Shaker Heights Development Corporation VISTA
 
 
 
SHDC’s sub-site VISTA project is focused on a co-work and resource facility, The Dealership, located in the only LMI census tract (1836.03-1) in Shaker Heights. The Dealership has served as a hub of entrepreneurial energy for the past 6 years and it is SHDC’s goal to grow the hub so that its spokes reach into the Chagrin-Lee corridor and potentially other commercial districts in the city over the long-term. The SHDC’s vision for the Chagrin-Lee commercial corridor is a district that is home to tech, health care, design, light industrial, makers, artistic entrepreneurs and professional service firms. The physical spaces that will house these firms will be flexible, sustainable and cost effective. There will be place-based physical improvements such as bike lanes, public art and other amenities that brand the commercial district. The VISTA team member will be involved with engaging and convening the Chagrin-Lee corridor’s business community. The VISTA would also engage in community outreach with the surrounding neighborhoods. The outreach would identify the types of resources and trainings programs that could take place at The Dealership that would help individuals enhance skill sets for increased employment opportunities. The outreach work would also further establish The Dealership as a community asset that can be leveraged by community members and local businesses to build assets.
