  • Episode 23: New plan revealed for downtown Cleveland lakefront without Browns stadium

    CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Every Tuesday, 19 News anchor Brian Duffy interviews the people who are shaping the present and future of Northeast Ohio.

    With the Browns planning a move to Brook Park, Cleveland’s downtown lakefront is being completely reimagined. On this edition of 19 Newsmakers, host Brian Duffy welcomes back Scott Skinner, executive director of the North Coast Waterfront Development Corporation, to explain how the plan has changed now that an NFL stadium is no longer the anchor. What had been a 25‑acre site built around the Browns becomes a 50‑ to 60‑acre extension of downtown, with a new street grid, utilities and long-term development phasing. Skinner says the team had to “reset” using past community input, because “a 25 acre site with an NFL stadium attached to it and a 50 to 60 acre site with no NFL stadium are very different.”
