The total cost of proposed improvements to the Global Center for Health Innovation grew from $46 million to $54 million on Tuesday, but Cuyahoga County Council is limiting its contribution to $40.4 million, for now.

Left out of funding was about $5 million to build a skywalk connecting the convention center to the Marriott hotel at Key Tower, which the majority of council members seemed to favor, but not entirely on the county’s dime. Members wanted to know how much the hotel might contribute and how Cleveland officials feel about the bridge before considering the added cost.
Still, council voted to advance the proposal to second reading, with Council President Pernel Jones, Jr., giving it his full support and Councilwoman Sunny Simon stressing urgency in locking in the debt to avoid the risk of even higher interest rates. He characterized the renovations as “a cross between a need and a want,” but warned “every year we wait, the further we fall behind.”
