Downtown Akron Partnership

Downtown Akron Partnership's Start Downtown program is open for its latest round of applications. The program helps entrepreneurs get started in a downtown storefront.

The city's current DORA boundary includes just four businesses in the Lock 3 area. If approved by the state, the region would expand to almost 145 acres and involve nearly 40 businesses.

After so many closures and cancellations in 2020, plans are being made for socially distanced events this year.

The farmer's market takes place over the next two Saturdays at Lock 3
