Talent Development

Our people are the heart of Strengthening Stark. We have created tools to help residents learn about and access the education and training they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving economy.

Quality Places

Strengthening Stark partners work together to assure our county is a wonderful place to live, work and play. Quality places include our neighborhoods, office and industrial parks, recreation areas, entertainment districts and the gateways to our communities. As more companies grow in Stark, we want more of their employees to live here, as well. And we want all residents to have easy access to Stark’s quality places.
