Neotrans

NEOtrans Blog is an independent regional news source dedicated to covering economic activity and urban change in Northeast Ohio. Since its founding in 2011, the publication has reported on real estate projects, infrastructure, transportation systems, construction activity, and business trends shaping the Greater Cleveland area. Its mission is to deliver timely, data-rich analysis that helps readers understand how development decisions affect the region’s economy, neighborhoods, and future growth. The blog is produced by veteran journalist Ken Prendergast, a longtime reporter with more than three decades of experience covering cities, transit, and regional planning. His reporting draws on deep local knowledge as well as professional work with transportation agencies, real estate firms, port authorities, and nonprofit organizations. This background allows the publication to provide technical insight alongside accessible explanations for the public. NEOtrans positions itself as a “first-and-free” source, frequently breaking stories about major projects before larger outlets while maintaining open access without paywalls. By documenting both large-scale investments and smaller local developments, the blog serves residents, professionals, and decision-makers seeking reliable information about the evolving urban landscape of Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding region.
