Established on June 22, 1995 by resolution
of the Stark County Board of Commissioners.
Although many port authorities are established to operate
transportation facilities, the SCPA was created to use its
broad statuatory powers as a tool to promote economic development
in Stark County.
The SCPA helps create and preserve jobs through a wide variety
of financing, real estate and foreign trade zone programs.
Vision Statement
The SCPA will use the unique power and authority granted to
port authorities in Ohio to provide the greater Stark County
area with an economic development tool for new capital investment,
job creation and retention.
Mission Statement
With our Vision Statement as our foundation, the
SCPA will use all due diligence and sound business practices,
using the expertise of qualified administrators and consultants,
to meet the following objectives:
- To assist in the process of creating and managing foreign
trade zones (FTZs) within Stark County
- To serve as a financing vehicle for business development
- To assist in real estate acquisition and development to
further Stark County’s economic development activities
- To serve as a resource for funding infrastructure and
related improvements necessary for economic development
- To promote, advertise and publicize the services, facilities
and programs of the SCPA
