CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As the Trump administration threatens to strip cities of federal funding, Cleveland is set to receive a boost from Bloomberg Philanthropies, which is stepping in with a $1.5 million donation to fund three new employees at City Hall.
These positions, focused on sustainability and reducing lead poisoning, could come at no cost to the city -- offering support at a time when federal dollars hang in the balance. The foundation, established by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is also providing an additional $120,000 for related expenses, reinforcing its commitment to helping cities tackle urgent public health and environmental challenges.
