The ACAA has developed an online resource guide for regional stakeholders who are interested in Community Project Funding within the State Capital Budget. This guide is available at akroncantonadvocacy.org. It provides an overview of the process, guidance on engaging with elected officials, and tips for submitting a successful request.

The Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Akron Chamber have convened their respective Capital Budget Task Forces, comprised of diverse community leaders. A few weeks ago, both chambers hosted presentation days, providing project sponsors with an opportunity to present their proposals to their respective Task Force and elected officials. As regional efforts to prepare for this legislative process further develop, we will continue communicating updates and relevant information.

We invite you to take full advantage of these opportunities to engage with elected officials in substantive dialogue and play an active role in advancing our shared objectives.
