STRENGTHENING STARK WEEK - OCTOBER 22 - 24 2019
ABOUT STRENGTHENING STARK
The Strengthening Stark report was developed by Stark Community Foundation on behalf of the Stark Civic Group, an informal group of leaders representing all sectors of Stark County. Upon completion of the report, which examined the demographic and economic trends and projections of our county, the Stark Economic Development Board (SEDB) was asked to lead the creation of a county-wide plan.
The Strengthening Stark Economic Competitiveness Plan, made up of 4 focus areas and 21 initiatives, is aimed at transforming Stark County from a smaller, older and poorer community into a larger, younger and more prosperous community.
Economic development entities and community partners from across the county have assumed responsibility for much of the plan's development, and SEDB will oversee measuring the progress of the plan and communicating that progress to the community.
| FOUR FOCUS AREAS |
| 1. Business Growth |
| 2. Talent Development |
| 3. Quality Places |
| 4. Process |
