The lakefront vision includes a $229 million land bridge that would run from the roof of the Huntington Convention Center to the lakefront area that recently served as the home for the 2021 NFL draft.
Almost three years ago, Cleveland Browns owner Dee Haslam told Crain s that she hoped the club could be part of the conversation and maybe push a sense of urgency when it comes to the long-discussed development of the lakefront.
A pedestrian bridge, the Haslams and other team officials have stressed, should be a key part of the plans.
