Major Cleveland Events at Risk as I-X Center Faces Overhaul
Cleveland leaders just approved a major zoning change for the I-X Center. This change opens the door to redeveloping the site for industrial and warehouse use.
The proposal could transform the longtime event venue into a large logistics hub. Current tenants could lose access once their leases expire.
The I-X Center hosts big events like car shows, RV expos, and seasonal festivals. If redevelopment moves forward, those events may need new homes.
City Council passed the zoning change on Monday night. Local leaders say the move could boost Cleveland’s economy and attract new jobs. But not everyone supports the plan.
Some fear the city will lose a unique space for community events and tourism.
The I-X Center first opened in 1985 and closed temporarily during the pandemic. Since then, new management revived the space for public and private events. This latest move could change that.
No final decisions have been made yet.
