Cavs owner and casino developer Dan Gilbert hasn’t yet announced the specific site or the design architect for the casino he’d like to build in downtown Cleveland.
But that isn’t stopping the Cleveland Coalition, a group of young professionals with an intense interest in the city’s future, from offering Gilbert some very specific free advice.
On Friday, the coalition will sponsor “Crooked River Gaming/2,” a public brainstorming session at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, 1717 Euclid Ave. The “charrette,” as such meetings are called in architectural circles, will focus on everything from what the casino might look like to how it could affect future economic development.
