Blue Abyss may build $250m research center here By Ken Prendergast / March 26, 2023 A British company, Blue Abyss Diving Ltd., is pursuing the development of a new research center devoted to deep sea and space research in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park on land next to NASA Glenn Research Center. The project, with a total estimated price tag of $250 million, could be one of the most significant business investments resulting from the presence of the NASA facility. It could also be nearly identical to a major research center Blue Abyss is building in the United Kingdom county of Cornwall.

It doesn't. He has to get a variance from BZA to not have the requisite parking on site.

I think he's a good choice. He's a true believer, not merely a hire because "why not." It remains to be seen if he will have the freedom to create and innovate or will he be limited by the board and Congress. He's got a protector in the White House, so I think his success may well depend on Amtrak Joe's.

Sheesh. I cannot afford to go on vacation or I'll miss so much good stuff! I had to write the Irishtown Bend article from a sofa in our air b&b in Florida after driving across the state. The Seeds & Sprouts and the Ukrainian art firm article were both pre-written. And now St. Iggy has a cool new project that I missed because I'm traveling. I guess the old days of Cleveland are over when you could go on vacation and not miss anything happening.

Thanks! They are due to be installed sometime this spring.

From the Main Avenue Bridge, it looks like the core is already half as tall as 200 PS. But that could be an illusion since 200 PS is farther away.

Amtrak has wanted to add a station at Hudson but probably won't until there is daytime service.

No they aren't. Yet the Downeaster is shown.

Yes

Construction permits submitted for The Midtown Collaboration Center. Probably a couple months away from seeing any construction through.

I have a feeling that the 5,000-year-old concept of the human city as a center of commerce, innovation, art and societal advancement will continue unabated. It is a natural social construct.
