Twisted Acres owners ask to be added to Cleveland Avenue CRA, tell board they revitalized a rough block
Summary
Owners of Twisted Acres — Anson Rosenwald and Alicia Koyanes — told the CRA they run a plant-and-arts shop that has helped clean up a rough neighborhood and requested inclusion in the Cleveland Avenue redevelopment area to access grants and programming.
Owners of a small plant-and-art shop called Twisted Acres told the Community Redevelopment Agency they want to be included in the Cleveland Avenue redevelopment area so they can access CRA programs and support.
Anson Rosenwald described the business on Marabella Avenue and said, “we want to give the community a place where they can come and learn about plants, different types of plants, and learn about other other things as well.” He and Alicia Koyanes told commissioners they had invested in cleaning up a previously rough block and that their classrooms and artist partnerships serve neighbors. They asked commissioners to consider their parcel when the Cleveland-area items are voted on later in May; staff said the parcel is eligible and that the proposal to add it was owner-initiated.
Commissioners praised the owners’ neighborhood improvements and noted the CRA team has been working with them for several years; staff said the parcel will be part of the package recommended to City Council.
