Shaker Heights on track for $945,000 federal ‘transit-oriented development’ grant

Shaker Heights is set to receive a $945,000 federal grant aimed at enhancing its transit-oriented development, focusing on areas around the Red Line metro station. This funding is part of a broader initiative to improve urban transit and support community growth around transit hubs, potentially boosting local businesses and enhancing public transportation accessibility.
