Residential Acquisition
Program
The Residential Acquisition Program Office was closed in March, and moved to
City Hall under
the Department of Public Safety. This will be the last report specifically
under the
Department of Airport Relations and Community Assistance since the
legislation creating the
Department and positions was repealed in February; however, the duties of
the Airport Relations Commissioner are now part of the Safety Director’s
responsibilities. Future updates will be provided under the Director of
Public Safety’s report. While the department and positions no longer exist,
Mayor Elliott is still very committed to ensuring that all residents who
remain in the acquisition area will receive the assistance they need;
therefore, we will continue to assist our residents, as needed, even though
the office in the acquisition area is closed. We will also continue to
assist with airport noise and sound insulation questions/issues. Please call
216-
433-1300 for assistance. In Phase 1, Cleveland continues to pursue the
acquisition of the final two Zone 1 properties, and they now have control of
the final Zone 2 condominium property, which should be demolished by the end
of this spring. In Zone 3, Cleveland demolished three more units for a total
of ten 4-unit structures demolished thus far with four more slated for
demolition through the springtime. Cleveland continues to make steady
progress in Zone 4 owning all but 15 of the 76 condominiums and 4 duplex
units. As of mid-February, we were still awaiting word from the City of
Cleveland as to whether they were going to spend more than the $36 million
minimum required by the Settlement Agreement. Cleveland is projected to
reach that minimum threshold with the end of Zone 4 with two zones yet to
complete in Phase 1. Once we receive their response, we will meet with the
Phase 1, Zone 5 and 6 residents. We are committed to working with those
residents and the Cleveland Hopkins Airport officials to ensure
that the Zone 5 and 6 residents are protected if any changes to the
Acquisition Program are necessary.
Airport Sound Insulation and Noise Questions/Issues
For airport noise-related complaints, please contact the Cleveland Hopkins
Airport Noise
Hotline at 216-898-5220, preferably at the time of the occurrence and
provide as much information as possible. Someone from the airport will
contact you within 24-48 hours to address your concern. For assistance or
questions with the Cleveland Hopkins Airport’s Residential Sound Insulation
Program or airport-related noise issues, please contact my office at
216-433-1300.
