The
Story Behind Northeast Shores' Original Offices
In
September of 1998, the once vibrant Rose Garden stood empty. The owners were
anxious to sell the dilapidated structure, but who would buy these 9,000 square
feet of deteriorated space?
Because Northeast Shores wanted a central location for their offices in the service area and also wanted to lead by example, showing residents and merchants that they believed that the Waterloo Road area provided a viable
Knowing that they wouldn't use all 9,000 square feet, Northeast Shores searched for a business needing lots of space to locate in one side of the building. "It was a perfect fit and exactly what I needed," says Victoria Smith owner of the day care center Little Hands & Feet. Already filling her center on East 152nd Street with two-and-a-half to 12-year-olds, Victoria wanted a space for infants to five-year-olds. "Northeast Shores has been wonderful! Because we knew from the start that I would be here, we could design the perfect space to fit all of my wants and needs." The major renovation was completed in June 2000 and Little Hands & Feet moved in on September 1, 2000.
Euclid Hospital played a crucial role in Northeast Shores' evolution by providing free office space and utilities in their Health Clinic building. Their generosity allowed Northeast Shores to build its staff and programs for its first five years of existence without overhead expenses.
Northeast Shores is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars administered by the City of Cleveland Department of Community Development with support from Councilman Michael D. Polensek and operating support by the Cleveland Neighborhood Partnership Program (CNPP), a collaboration of Neighborhood Progress Inc., Local Initiatives Support Corporation and the Enterprise Foundation.
