🏢 Skyline makeover

Cuyahoga County • August 19, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The skyline of Cleveland's Gordon Square is poised for transformation this fall as Pride One Construction finalizes plans for its Canopy at Herman Park luxury apartments. With construction set to begin October 1, this modern Dimit Architects-designed development represents a significant vote of confidence in Cleveland's residential future, arriving just as the neighborhood continues its impressive renaissance.

While architectural ambitions rise, drama unfolded Monday in Shaker Heights as police engaged in a tense standoff seeking domestic violence suspect Devonte Nunery. Despite closing roads and surrounding a home in the Westbury and Milverton area, authorities discovered their target had slipped away. In industrial news, Cleveland-Cliffs is celebrating new tariff protections on steel derivatives that the company claims will safeguard American manufacturing jobs across Ohio and Pennsylvania against what they describe as circumvention tactics.

🏭 US slaps 50% tariffs on steel derivatives to fight circumvention. Cleveland-Cliffs applauded the Department of Commerce's decision to extend Section 232 steel tariffs to electrical steel laminations, cores, and certain stainless steel automotive parts. The company's CEO thanked President Trump and Commerce Secretary Lutnick for taking action against what he called "blatant tariff evasion" through Mexico and Canada. Cleveland-Cliffs argues these countries were allowing steel products melted outside North America to bypass tariffs, undermining the USMCA trade agreement. The company says this protection will allow continued investment in its Ohio and Pennsylvania operations supporting American-made cars, appliances, and electrical transformers.
