A City of Cleveland postcard design featuring the Municipal Light Plant in 1979
Though the city had often neglected its own power plant, the late 1970s brought a rejuvenated view of the plant to the citizens. In 1983, during the Mayoral administration of George Voinovich, the municipal lighting system was renamed "Cleveland Public Power". This new view of the plant was spurred on by the heavy campaigning of Mayor Kucinich in his push to save Muny Light in the 1979 special election. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
