The City of Cleveland is likely to spend $10 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars improving the workforce pipeline for construction, brownfield remediation, lead safety, green energy and more during its Monday night meeting.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland City Council has approved a piece of legislation setting aside $10 million to help prepare local residents for certain workforce programs.Ohio Means Jobs Cleveland—Cuyahoga CountyThe law passed the influential finance committee Monday afternoon and then full council later that day without any “no” votes.
Improving representation in these areas would also make it easier for companies that genuinely care about diversity to meet government standards, said Council President Blaine Griffin. Of the 3,000 workers that Cleveland hopes will enter the workforce through the program, the city is hoping 75% are from under-represented groups, according to city documents.
“This request for funding really is to support a coordinated effort … that has not existed in Cleveland’s construction industry,” Shumate said.
