In most cities, arts & culture not only drives economic growth, but also gives the community a sense of place.

That's why we proudly invited Ashley Moore Dunson, executive producer of the Remember Balloons Live! Show, on the Dreamers, Drivers, Doers Podcast.

The moving dance performance comes home to E.J. Thomas Hall at the University of Akron this Saturday after its nationwide tour this spring.

Listen in to Ashley discuss the heartwarming show about memory and intergenerational storytelling here: https://greaterakronchamber.org/podcast/

A major upgrade is coming to METRO Regional Transit Authority's Kenmore facilities this year.

With this 100,000+ sqft upgrade, METRO will be able to more efficiently store & repair its fleet of 250 buses and support vehicles. For the first time, the transit authority will also have the space to conduct on-site training for residents looking to attain a Commercial Driver's License.

Thank you to METRO leadership for showing the Greater Akron Chamber team around your brand-new maintenance facility. We are impressed with the investment you are making to improve public transportation in Greater Akron. 🚌
