With C .
With its plan to develop seven and a half acres of shore land, Cleveland is but one of a large number of communities on the Great Lakes [ Noun Phrase] that are looking to their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and [to : hidden ] attract new businesses.
That is actually connecting "communities".
In totality "communities on the Great Lakes".

IMO C.....thing which I learnt....."one of" can be used as singular as well as plural....one of plural subject + plural verb and one of singular subject + singular verb...
in this question that is modifying Great Lakes therefore C

(A) is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(B) is looking at its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(C) are looking to their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(D) are looking to its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting
(E) are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract
A, D, and E are wordy because of "as a way".
"Communities" is subject so verb should be plural "are" and "its" is reffering to "shore land" singular so i'll go with C.
