Great Lakes Brewing IDs Scranton Peninsula project

This 2-acre site between Cuyahoga River and Carter Road on Scranton Peninsula is
proposed to become a potential waterfront entertainment venture and beer garden
for Great Lakes Brewing Company. Remnants of a former Republic Steel mill that
closed in 1973 remain on site. The middle retaining wall reportedly will be kept
 while the wall at right will be removed. In the background are two apartment
complexes under construction with downtown’s skyline beyond (KJP).
