On Thursday, August 15, 2019, Historic Gateway Neighborhood Corporation (HGNC) and the Historic Warehouse District Development Corporation (HWDDC) hosts the 16th Annual Historic Downtown Cleveland Luncheon from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the English Oak Room located on the lower level of Tower City Center featuring three distinguished speakers, including Ohio Senator, Kirk Schuring.
““Each speaker brings a unique perspective to the discussion of successful adaptive re-use and historic preservation projects. This will be a fascinating conversation provoking new ideas and continuing the momentum of Downtown Cleveland’s growth and development.”

The panelists bring varied interpretations of economic development that include advocacy, education, and historic preservation – values central to the missions and programs of HGNC and HWDDC.
