The Port lists CHEERS status as design in progress, bidding in 2026, building in 2027, and identifies funding sources still being pursued.
Assessments
Brown promised to continue fighting for federal funding and support for the CHEERS project, not to complete the entire project. During her current House term, she requested and secured $1,092,000 in signed appropriations legislation for Cleveland Metroparks' CHEERS project. The broader project remains incomplete and still needs additional funding, but the promised federal funding/support was materially delivered.
