Over $220,800 in Steelyard TIF money has gone to Old Brooklyn businesses and public spaces since its 2025 relaunch. The fund exists because a 2006 study found Steelyard Commons hurt retail in six nearby neighborhoods: Ohio City, Tremont, Clark-Fulton, Old Brooklyn, Slavic Village and Lorain Station, and only those six qualify for the grant program.
