CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Mayor Justin Bibb is trying to stop Brook Park from landing victories with it’s lawsuit against Cleveland over Hopkins Airport runway expansion and efforts to build a new Browns dome home in Brook Park.
Try to follow this playbook: Are depositions being sought by city of Cleveland lawyers in 2024 for a 2017 lawsuit about a 2001 deal to settle a 1990′s dispute just game-playing involving an NFL team founded in Cleveland in 1946 that moved to Baltimore in 1996, then restarted in Cleveland in 1999 and now may move it’s home turf down the road from it’s Berea practice facility to Brook Park in 2028? City of Cleveland Mayor, QB, Air Traffic Controller Justin Bibb says no, it’s not.
In 2001, Bibb’s mentor, then Cleveland Mayor Mike White and then Brook Park Mayor Tom Coyne - fan of felon Donald Trump, former owner of the USFL New Jersey Generals who once tried to buy the Cleveland Indians turned Guardians and move them to Florida - reached a deal to settle a dispute over another type of dome, the I-X Center next to the airport that Brook Park was trying to buy. Cleveland agreed to buy 300 Brook Park homes to expand the airport’s runways into those neighborhoods without having to use eminent domain. In exchange, Brook Park would punt it’s efforts to buy the I-X center.
After Cleveland did purchase and demolish many of the homes, it walked away from the expansion plans like Art Modell walked way from Cleveland, leaving about 70 homes left on the bench.
In 2017, Brook Park sued claiming that under the deal, Cleveland must still make the offer to buy all the homes, even if the homeowners can decline.
The Cleveland Browns have themselves been buying up homes in Berea next to their practice facility to expand it.
Better news then a 2017 lawsuit extension is the Cleveland Brown extended to contracts of General Manager Andrew Berry and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski.
