Innerbelt Master Plan: State of the Planning Area
Release Date: 3/18/2025
The State of the Planning Area Report is first among a series of products coming out of the Innerbelt Master Plan process. The Report analyzes and documents key conditions and trends in and around the former Innerbelt land. It’s intended to help the community, the City, and the planning team establish a shared understanding of the planning area before we begin to reimagine its future.
Phase 1 Report
The Reconnecting Our Community - Phase 1 Report documents the work of the initiative’s first two years from 2021 to 2023, the goals of which have been to reckon with the Innerbelt’s past and begin to work with Akron residents to imagine a healed future for it.
Innerbelt History Collection
In 2023, we launched the Innerbelt History Collection on the Summit Memory website in collaboration with the Akron-Summit County Public Library. The collection is an archival effort to make sure that the stories and images of what happened (and the life of the neighborhood that used to exist) can be preserved for future generations to know and learn from.
