Cuyahoga County • August 6, 2025
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Up, up and away! Cleveland's skyline has a new hero as the 9.5-foot steel Superman statue takes its rightful place at Ontario and St. Clair. This gleaming tribute stands just miles from where Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first imagined the iconic character in the 1930s. Complete with bronze sculptures of the creators and a vintage phone booth, the installation is already becoming the city's newest must-snap photo destination, though some visitors have noted the Man of Steel is "smaller than expected."
In the realm of civic matters, the County Council has pumped the brakes on $7 million in funding for Cleveland's behavioral health crisis center, citing concerns about long-term financial sustainability. Meanwhile, a settlement has been reached in a discrimination lawsuit against the Cleveland Community Police Commission, with interim director Jason Goodrick receiving $75,000 and a six-figure position as part of the resolution.

🦸♂️ Superman soars into Cleveland with a heroic new statue. The 9.5-foot steel tribute stands at Ontario and St. Clair, just miles from where creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first imagined the superhero in the 1930s. The plaza also features bronze sculptures of the creators alongside Joan Siegel (the inspiration for Lois Lane) and a vintage phone booth. While some visitors noted Superman is "smaller than expected," the statue is already attracting crowds and becoming a popular photo destination. Cleveland's newest landmark may now compete with the city's other Instagram-worthy spots like the script signs.
🏥 Cuyahoga County delays $7 million for Cleveland crisis center. County Council postponed voting on funding for a new behavioral health crisis center until September, citing unanswered questions about the facility's long-term financial sustainability. Council President Dale Miller told local media the delay would provide more time to resolve financing concerns. The center represents an important mental health infrastructure investment for Cleveland, but officials want assurance about operational funding before committing the capital contribution. Meanwhile, the county continues work on other projects including youth treatment facilities and jail improvements.
