Midtown\u2019s Fairfax Market, which opened in 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portofcleveland.com\/port-of-cleveland-to-provide-bond-financing-for-fairfax-market\/\">received public assistance<\/a>. And the East Side Market was leased for a $1 per year to its operator, Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Services, before operational issues drove Cleveland to cut ties with NEON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as far as what <em>keeps<\/em> stores open and affordable is a matter of debate these days, as city halls throughout the U.S. tinker with formats and initiatives to address food deserts and affordability. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimorecity.gov\/planning\/our-work\/food-policy-planning\/policies\">Baltimore<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/detroitmi.gov\/news\/detroit-economic-growth-corporation-relaunches-green-grocer-project-increase-fresh-food-access\">Detroit<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantaga.gov\/Home\/Components\/News\/News\/15294\/1338\">Atlanta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/assets\/planning\/downloads\/pdf\/our-work\/plans\/citywide\/food-retail-expansion-support-health-fresh\/fresh-report-feb2023.pdf\">New York City<\/a> have all rolled out funding pools to either grant grocers loans or help build stores in high-demand areas. Atlanta\u2019s $8.1 million fund helped raise its own downtown grocer, the Azalea Fresh Market, which a recent news report said had \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/atlanta.urbanize.city\/post\/azalea-fresh-downtown-market-success-2nd-location-coming\">exceeded expectations<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s possible a similar fund in Cleveland could do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starr hasn\u2019t narrowed down where exactly that $15 million or so might come from, save for a \u201ccombination of different funding sources,\u201d he said. Or how grocers would repay grants or incentives if they did decide to close. Both are likely to be points of contention amongst councilmembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is \u201cnot to guarantee the profitability of any private grocery operator or permanently subsidize an unsustainable business model,\u201d the draft legislation reads. But to \u201ccreate conditions under which responsible grocery operators have a reasonable opportunity to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To borrow the baseball truism: If we make it easy, they\u2019ll come and build it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe&#8217;re not waiting on somebody else to actually decide if they want to come into our neighborhood,\u201d Starr said. \u201cWe&#8217;re deciding for ourselves that we&#8217;re going to make sure grocery stores are there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas Reeve, a senior advisor to Mayor Bibb, has assigned a small task force to figure out, with the help of consultants Streetsense, what sort of grocery store might work downtown. Results from a study will be shared in late October.
