A Great Place to Work and Open a Business...

Corporate Services
The City of Green has several quality business parks that serve the needs of corporations seeking to expand or relocate into modern office space. Each business park is easily accessible to I-77, local state highways, and the Akron-Canton Airport. The airport provides direct service to Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Atlanta, Orlando, and Chicago, with connections to all major cities both in the continental United States and abroad.

The city's local industries provide a wide variety of jobs for our residents. Our City, in conjunction with Summit County and under State authority, has established the Southern Summit County Jobs and Enterprise Zone. The zone was developed to encourage business growth and create jobs in the area through the provision of tax incentives for qualified corporations.

By attracting high-quality corporations, we are creating a strong, diversified economic base, which will benefit the City into the future. Many different products and services produced by our enterprises within the City furnish the surrounding communities and areas. Therefore, we are committed to providing an excellent environment for our local industries to prosper. Our diverse economic base also means we are not overly dependent on anyone industry, which translates into greater growth in times of economic expansion and more stability in times of recession.

International Industry
The original site of Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) #181 was established in 1991 within the Green community at the CAK International Business Park. The FTZ in our community is comprised of 143 acres of industrially zoned land at the Akron-Canton Airport and allows the import/export industries located in this zone the advantage of reduced tax, duty, and insurance costs. The Foreign-Trade Zone provides local manufacturing facilities and developers access to foreign markets and grants unique development opportunities within the City of Green.
