The Cleveland nonprofit wants City Council to approve merican Rescue Plan Act funds to pay for renovation of at least 25 early childhood education centers.
The Cleveland Early Learning Spaces program launched Monday, April 25, at the Lexington-Bell Community Center in Hough, one of the first six sites in the program.
Grant money for facilities will go toward HVAC upgrades, lead and asbestos abatement as well as layout changes and lighting improvements, the program said. Playgrounds and outdoor classrooms are also on the list of renovation priorities.
