Dear Shaker Businesses,As we wrap up 2025, we thank you for another strong year in Shaker. It’s been a year full of momentum, and we’ve been grateful for so many chances to celebrate alongside you, whether it was welcoming new businesses, recognizing major anniversaries, or spotlighting the entrepreneurs who keep our business community vibrant. Whether you are geared up for a final sales or service push, racing to close a year-end project or deal, or beginning to slow down for the holidays, we see you working hard every day. Your effort, your investment, and your everyday commitment to serving customers is what makes Shaker’s business community special, and we’re proud to support you. We’re looking forward to 2026 and all that’s ahead, and we’re excited to keep building on this progress together. We wish you a very happy holiday season and Happy New Year! Laura & Georgina

Lee Road Zoning Changes Coming SoonIn December, the City of Shaker Heights Planning and Economic Development staff and Shaker Heights Development Corporation met with Chagrin-Lee business and property owners for a presentation and discussion about proposed zoning code on Lee Road in the Chagrin-Lee commercial district. We discussed what those updates could mean for the future of the neighborhood. These changes are part of implementing the Lee Road Action Plan, with a focus on supporting new mixed-use development, allowing certain uses not currently permitted (like restaurants), and encouraging signage that fits a mixed-use district. Mark your calendars for a City Planning Commission meeting on January 6, 2026, at 7pm at City Hall or on Zoom. At that meeting and subsequent City Council meetings, you can get additional information and have opportunities to ask questions and share concerns. For more information, contact Economic Development Director Laura Englehart at laura.englehart@shakerheightsoh.gov or 216-491-1334. 🔗 Learn more: shakerheightsoh.gov/LeeZoning |
