Abstract: Cleveland’s vision for a more vibrant, accessible lakefront — funded by parking, dining, and hotel fees — moved closer to reality with City Council’s latest approval. Council members voted 14-2 Monday night to form what’s called a “new community authority” or “NCA,” an organization that can levy additional fees in a set geographic area. It can only charge these fees if property owners and businesses leasing space agree to them.
