George Nemeth · Cleveland—Mostly Eroding?
June 23rd, 2008
What are you noticing about Cleveland today?
This Monday starts the deconstruction of Stanard School in the St. Clair Superior Neighborhood. This deconstruction project is headed by Ward 13 Councilman Joe Cimperman, The Department of Building and Housing, and the St. Clair Superior Development Corporation with technical support from the Ohio EPA.
Most of the usable wood has been reclaimed and the bricks will be re-used by community and market gardens among others. The New Agrarian Center has been documenting the process with video. The goals: keep construction waste out of landfills, make the deconstruction pay for itself through sales of some of the materials, provide materials for community groups in need. I hope this is one of many projects like this.

This morning, while waiting for the bus, I noticed that again, Milan, a landlord with 3 commercial properties adjacent to our home in North Collinwood, was out picking up trash along E. 185th St. I’m grateful for responsible neighbors.
