LOITER A STRATEGIC EFFORT TO BUILD A FUTURE FOR EAST CLEVELANDERS.

Loiter takes on its provocative name as a direct challenge to the city’s criminalized narrative. It actively invites and encourages residents to commune, interact, and appreciate their community in welcoming public retail and agricultural spaces. Unfortunately, this is not a current reality and we are committed to do something about it. What makes Loiter so unique is that Loiter is not just a place—it’s also a mindset. To us, Loiter means to actively seek out people and places that convey a sense of safety and belonging.
