CLEVELAND — Fans are one step closer to seeing the “Man of Steel” honored in the city where he was first brought to life. 

Earlier this year, city and county planners approved the concept for a Superman statue and a tribute plaza honoring his Cleveland creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

But while Cleveland-born sculptor David Deming is working to finalize all of the elements, a big hurdle remains for the project — money. Organizers are asking “ordinary citizens” to help save the day.
