Projects and construction Lakewood is in the midst of experiencing a true renaissance in which economic development has boomed in recent years. In addition to the aforementioned 5 school project, some of the more notable projects recently completed or currently under construction include: - On March 8, 2007, The Plain Dealer published a cover story announcing Lakewood's plans to create a new "Arts District". Three possible locations have been determined, with the possibility of developing each location independently of the other. The first revolves around the Beck Center for the Arts on Detroit Avenue and is to include restaurants, art galleries, and other shops. The second location would become a live-work area between Birdtown and the eastern edge of the city, intertwined between Madison Avenue and Berea Road. The third possible location to develop an "Arts District" would be the Hilliard Triangle, which is at the junction of Hilliard and Madison Avenue's.
- In May 2006, the city of Lakewood added a paved bicycle/jogging trail to Lakewood Park that loops the entire park and a lake front boardwalk that offers outstanding views of the Cleveland skyline. The next phase to Lakewood Park is to add a beach on the northwestern tip of the park, sometime in.
- Lakewood library is currently undergoing a large expansion due for completion in June 2007.

The project includes three phases, with the first one complete and the second one currently underway. The current phase will include two 6-story loft buildings and several adjacent mixed-use buildings.
- In recent years, Lakewood has adopted a special building code that requires all future development within the city to be created using an urban sense of nature, meaning that any new construction must be built up against the sidewalk and attempt to resemble the historical brick and mortar structures throughout the city. This building code has become prevalent with large retailers like Walgreens having to place parking lots in the rear or side of the building as opposed to the traditional suburban style storefront. This building style is also evident amongst the recently constructed Rite-Aid, Hollywood Video, and the second Walgreen's location currently under construction.
- Rosewood Place, a new mixed-used development reached completion in the end of 2006, offering new town homes, condo's, and retail in the heart of Lakewood along Detroit Avenue.
