Gordon Square Arts District - The Art of Economic Development

The Gordon Square Arts District is the economic cornerstone of Cleveland’s west side where a unique combination of housing, new businesses, the arts and neighborhood beautification are sparking the development of new jobs for residents.

Already well underway, the Gordon Square Arts District is helping to infuse more than $500 million in economic development in the surrounding community. The three engines of the Gordon Square Arts Districts economic development are the Capitol Theatre, The Cleveland Public Theatre, and the Near West Theatre. Collaborating with the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization is essential for developing connections with our neighborhood the completion of Detroit Ave.'s streetscape renovations and the Capitol Theatre Grand Re-Opening last October.
