Economic Development Department

The City provides services to Shaker businesses and business organizations to site their office functions, assist in business management planning, and connect them with potential partners, suppliers, service providers and others to benefit from the synergy among existing businesses and help them locate or relocate in the City.

Primary concentrations of commercially zoned property:

• Van Aken/Warrensville: A master plan is in the works for this 60-acre commercial district to redevelop it into an extraordinary and vibrant mixed-use town center district, equal to any in the United States. The district is the terminus of a major light rail line, which runs west eight miles to downtown Cleveland, and is one of the five busiest crossroads in greater Cleveland.
• Shaker Town Center at Chagrin and Lee: This area includes a broad mix of commercial uses, civic buildings, a transit station, and a variety of housing nearby. Exciting redevelopment efforts are complete or underway, including 170+ new housing units, façade improvements at the 120,000 square foot shopping center, street improvements, public art, a new fire house, and complete redevelopment of a property that currently has 85,000 square feet of retail space.
