Ohio Legislators urged to support transformational project proposal in Northeast Ohio

Letters requesting support for the Huntington Bank Field and Mixed use development in Brook Park were sent today to Governor Mike DeWine, and Ohio Legislators, McColley, Huffman, Cirino and Stewart.

Rarely does any region of our state see a truly transformational project proposal - one with both national implications as well as generational positive impact on the local community. The estimated $3 billion dollar enclosed Huntington Bank Field and mixed-use development in Brook Park is such a project. The Affiliated Construction Trades Ohio Foundation ("ACT Ohio") and the Cleveland Building and Construction Trades Council ("CBCTC") jointly submit this letter to demonstrate our shared commitment and collaboration with the Haslam Sports Group, the public/private coalition and project team.

Conservative economic projections indicate that 6,000 jobs will be created during the construction of the new enclosed Huntington Bank Field stadium and phased development in Brook Park. This does not include the enduring labor and employment impact once the projects are complete, with over 5,400 permanent jobs anticipated.
