Cleveland Heights City Council approved a tax abatement for The Orlean Company at this week's meeting, an agreement that moves forward an $11.4 million residential and retail building on a Lee Road vacant lot.
The Meadowbrook-Lee development agreement was unanimously approved by Cleveland Heights City Council this week, the Sun News reports. The 11-year, 80 percent tax abatement for The Orlean Company's proposed $11.4 million residential and commercial building at Meadowbrook and Lee roads was unanimously approved by the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School Board last month. This development will generate about $70,000 annually for the schools over 11 years. Without the abatement the development would generate around $300,000 annually — but a school board member noted that, with nothing on the empty lot, it generates no money. Cleveland Heights Planning and Development Director Richard Wong also said at a school board meeting that it …

Cleveland Heights City Council and developer The Orlean Company are asking the CH-UH School Board to approve an 11-year, 80 percent tax abatement for a proposed development in the vacant space at Lee and Meadowbrook.
The Cleveland Heights-University Heights School Board is expected to consider a tax abatement for the proposed Meadowbrook and Lee development at its meeting Monday, Nov. 5. Cleveland Heights City Council and developer The Orlean Company are requesting an 11-year, 80 percent tax abatement for modern apartments and retail or commercial space. The more than $11.4 million project would bring in about $300,000 annually in property taxes abatement-free.

Orlean Company president David Orlean said he hopes to start the project in the spring of 2013. "We’re just really hoping that the abatement is approved because we need it in order to make …
