City of Akron Council Committee Meeting - 6.8.2026

The City of Akron Council's Planning and Economic Development Committee met on June 8, 2026, to discuss several agenda items related to local development and community services. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of an ordinance for the Lincoln Mill Redevelopment Plan and a professional services agreement with the Community Hall Foundation Corporation (Akron Civic Theatre) for booking and entertainment services at Lock 3 and other community parks, with a budget of approximately $135,000 for neighborhood concerts and $900 for booking services. The committee also considered an ordinance authorizing the sale of a vacant city-owned property on Copley Road to Angels Landing, a daycare operator planning to expand its facility with a 5,500 square foot addition and additional parking, at a rate of $25,000 per acre. Both items were approved by consent. The meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to support local entertainment venues and childcare infrastructure through strategic property sales and service contracts.
