Cleveland Heights Landmark Commission Meeting July 7, 2026

The Cleveland Heights Landmark Commission held a meeting on July 7, 2026, primarily discussing the approval and maintenance of a public art mural project on the Cedarly Theater building facade within the arts district. The commission reviewed the use of specialized Lockxon paint designed for raw brick to ensure longevity and breathability, with a maintenance agreement involving the building owner for five years and plans for a public art maintenance fund thereafter. A motion was passed to approve the mural project contingent on further research regarding the graffiti protective layer and with specific design stipulations to preserve architectural details. Additional discussions included potential landmarking of mid-century buildings, preservation concerns for historic structures, and upcoming community events related to historic preservation. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were reported, but the use of ARPA funds for the mural project was noted, emphasizing timely expenditure by year-end.
