Bobbi Reichtel, Lilah Zautner, Erika Meschkat the rest of Neighborhood Progress, Inc. along with other community partners developed a plan to revitalize neighborhoods through vacant lot reclamation. The result was the birth of the Re-imagining Cleveland Program. Our Blaine Avenue Community Garden is part of the inaugural group of projects funded.
