Akron's 2017 State of the City Why Not Akron Video

"Years from now, when other cities look for a model of rebirth someone will say “Why not look to Akron?” As Akron continues to evolve from its roots as an industrial powerhouse to a highly-creative and innovative center of excellence-let us never forget our greatest asset has remained constant, it’s our people. This resource has fueled us in the past and will again prove to be the catalyst going forward." - Mayor Horrigan

I've been here for over 40 years and I love the new direction Akron is taking!

Akron is the little city that tries. It works and works to be a better place and never gives up.

I've been to over 25 countries and I keep coming back to Akron. It's the best little big town I know!

Not to be negative but too much clique crap in Akron. As a life long resident of Akron this video doesn't really capture the essence of the city

[@thetechlibrarian]

Hey I hope it does grow. It could be a lot worse I grew up in Youngstown and its a million times better than there.

Great city but the University of Akron is awful.

[@edgray3753]

maybe the crime, the lack of public funding to to the mass migration of middle class families out of the city, the collapsing infrastructure that the budget cant afford to fix due to loss of too many middle and high income families to other cities, the absolute garbage education numbers, lack of good employment, realistically the only thing akron has going for it these days is Akron University, and even that cant save a city living off the accomplishments of the past but implementing policies of the future it simply can't afford. in other words, if you are bound and determined to live in that part of ohio, go live in Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Fairlawn, Copley, Bath, Silver Lake, etc.
