Mark your calendars for this year’s Strengthening Stark Week as we virtually celebrate our businesses, our people and our home.

Virtual Job Fair

Attend Strengthening Stark’s Virtual Job Fair on October 28 from 4-7 p.m. to live chat with local employers like Aultman Hospital, Spectrum, Fresh Mark, Coastal Pet Products, Polymer Packaging, Superior Dairy, Mercy Medical Center and Gregory Industries that are hiring for multiple positions from $12-19+ an hour. The Virtual Job Fair is being held in partnership with ConxusNEO and OhioMeansJobs, and registration is required. Register here: tiny.cc/jobfair1028

Inside the Incubator

Take a look inside Canton’s Innovation District HQ Incubator. Located in the former “Frank’s Produce” building, Innovation District HQ serves as the central hub of the Canton innovation District—a 12-block neighborhood within downtown Canton designed to attract and facilitate the growth of technology-oriented businesses in Stark County. During this virtual behind-the-scenes tour, you’ll see inside the Incubator, learn about the companies currently incubating, business assistance services provided by JumpStart and other community partners, and how you can get involved in entrepreneurship in your community.

While the Inside the Incubator virtual tour mentions Walsh University’s The Garage and Alliance’s new business incubator, we know there’s a lot of other entrepreneurial work going on in Stark County!

Drilling Down on Data

Hear how a partnership with the Stark County Auditor’s Office is giving area leaders and organizations a unique opportunity to drill down on local data using a Stark County Geographic Information System (GIS) Platform. During this virtual tour, you’ll hear why the platform was created, how it has been used to make data-informed decisions and spur community conversations, and future enhancements to the platform.

Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce Virtual Annual Meeting

During the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Virtual Annual Meeting on October 27, 2020 from 9-10 a.m. or 3-4 p.m., learn how the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce has adapted and stayed relevant during the pandemic, and hear updates on major community projects that have moved forward or even reached completion over recent months. During the virtual meeting, you’ll hear directly from:

  • Mike Crawford on Hall of Fame Village Powered by Johnson Controls / DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Canton
  • Canton Mayor Tom Bernabei and David Baker on Centennial Plaza
  • Ren Camacho on the Akron-Canton Airport
  • Leonard Stevens on the Stark County Minority Business Association
  • Todd Hawke on the Jackson Township Amphitheatre

Registration is required. Register here: cantonchamber.org/annual-meeting

#HowWeStrengthenStark

We have much to be proud of as a community including the number of caring people who work tirelessly to strengthen Stark County. During Strengthening Stark Week, we want you to take to social media to share how you, someone you know or an organization is strengthening Stark County using the hashtag #HowWeStrengthenStark. Our hope is to flood social media with inspiring stories of community spirit.

Our Mission

Strengthening Stark is a community-wide movement of residents, business, government, nonprofits and philanthropy who share a vision for a vibrant, growing county for all. Our goal is to make Stark a great place to start and grow a business, develop one's talent and pursue a career, and live and raise a family.
