MISSION

VISION

VALUES

Our mission is to enhance the commercial revitalization efforts of the City of Shaker Heights in order to strengthen residential neighborhoods and diversify the City’s tax base.

SHDC envisions an enriched Shaker Heights community that seamlessly blends our innovative history into a vibrant future by fostering entrepreneurial opportunities and stimulating sustainable economic growth.

SHDC promotes economic development and educational initiatives that embody and advance each of the following Core Values.

The City of Shaker Heights established the SHDC in 1981. A majority of SHDC’s board is comprised of citizen members, plus city staff and elected officials. The board serves as an agent of the City; the City, in turn, serves as SHDC’s fiduciary agent. Our nonprofit status enables us to accept charitable donations to advance the creation and preservation of economic opportunities for Shaker Heights.

Your gift to SHDC will help develop:

THE CHAGRIN/LEE DISTRICT

The City's beautification and revitalization funds, coupled with private investment, already have strengthened this rising community and promise to transform it into a lively district for residents to work, live and play.

THE VAN AKEN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT

SHDC's nonprofit status uniquely positions us to facilitate and support unfunded components of this sustainable mixed-use development.

THE FIBERHOOD

The Dealership is the hub of Northeast Ohio’s first Fiberhood — a super-fast broadband network provided by Everstream that promises to attract tech-savvy entrepreneurs to live and work in the Chagrin/Lee District and in other developing commercial districts within Shaker Heights.

SHAKER HEIGHTS HAS EMBRACED A PROGRESSIVE RESILIENCE THAT ENABLED THE CITY TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF ITS FIRST 100 YEARS.

COMMIT TO SHDC TODAY TO HONOR OUR PAST AND TO STRENGTHEN OUR FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE. TOGETHER, WE CAN SOLIDIFY OUR DIVERSE RESIDENTIAL BASE WITH INNOVATIVE, SUSTAINABLE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
