Greater Cleveland Congregations says that it is “Not All In” on the latest $282 million plan to upgrade Quicken Loans Arena.
In a news release Wednesday, the GCC said that “…with 43 member congregations and organizations representing 100,000 people across Cuyahoga County, (it) will decry the deal as bad policy, a bad process, and fundamentally immoral.”
The GCC will announce its demands to reform the deal outside Quicken Loans Arena at 9:45-10 a.m. Thursday morning.
The GCC says its core demands include:
1. a non-fast-track approach for any Q arena proposal to allow for broad-based, public input;
2. absolute transparency with regards to the terms of any proposal; and
3. equity for the use of the funds through a $160 million, dollar-for-dollar match of investment into the community through jobs for persons from distressed neighborhoods, funding for after-school programs and other uses.
