Summit County

In Summit County, rapidly growing and globally competitive science, medical and technical industries stand alongside lively, family-friendly communities and one of the nation’s most-visited national parks. Located within a 500-mile radius of 60% of the total U.S. population, and served by significant highway, air service, and trucking firms, Summit County is anchored by the City of Akron. Akron is nationally ranked as a top destination for Millennial homebuyers, one of the safest cities from natural disasters, and one of the nation’s most affordable cities. Site Selection Magazine recently recognized the Greater Akron MSA as a Top 10 Metro by Total Projects.
