"Since the Great Streets Akron program began, we've awarded over $2.6 million in grants to over 125 businesses," said Mayor Dan Horrigan. "We've also celebrated the opening of 65 new businesses in these districts. Through the Great Streets program, we have been incredibly successful at reinvigorating these commercial districts by partnering with the organizations embedded in these communities. I'm excited to welcome the South Arlington corridor into the program to create more opportunity in this important neighborhood."
Mark Greer, the City's Great Streets Administrator said, "2021 has been an impactful year for our Great Streets Initiative, with the addition of a new Neighborhood Business District on South Arlington Street at the top of the list of the most impactful measures we've taken. We're excited to get to work on this important business corridor as we continue our mission to revitalize communities throughout the City. East Akron is a community rich with tradition and pride, and the opportunity to tangibly impact this area is one we welcome, and don't take lightly. From providing assistance to business owners, improving the streetscape and urban design of the corridor, enhancing public space, working to fill vacant storefronts, and partnering with community organizations to bring lasting change, we're ready to roll up our sleeves and give this new Great Street district the commitment and support it deserves."
