Monday’s Better Block Community Walk through a block in the North Hill neighborhood of Akron.
Jason Roberts, co-founder of the Better Block project, presenting on the Better Block
The Knight Foundation and Team Better Block have begun laying the groundwork for their first collaboration with the city of Akron, Ohio. The community of North Hill has been selected for the city’s first Better Block and residents, business owners, and city staff have all partnered to start preparing the Cuyahoga Falls and Main Street area for a project that will combine efforts with local organizations like the International Institute, Urban Vision, and AMATS.
A large group of stakeholders attended the Community Walk kick-off for the project on Monday, and ideas were submitted for potential pop-up businesses in the area.
If you’d like more information on the project, or would like to sign up to take part, visit the Akron Better Block facebook page. More details to come soon!
