The plan targets 200–300 dock capacity with a restaurant and parking nearby.

Block Grants Shift Funds to State and Local Politicians
A Coalition on Human Needs report criticizes Community Development Block Grants for diverting federal aid to politically popular state and local uses. The piece highlights Cleveland as a case where funds bolster insulation, senior lunches, day care, and storefront loans run by local groups, while noting questionable grants to politically connected organizations and extensive discretionary spending by ward councilmen led by George Forbes, with Mayor George Voinovich aligning with the pattern.
