Our Mission
To implement economic development initiatives that will strengthen and diversify the economy of Summit County and Northeast Ohio by encouraging investment in business, industrial, transportation, distribution and community development projects.
Our History
The Summit County Port Authority was created in 1993 to save abandoned rail lines in Summit County for future transportation needs. The first board of directors, along with former County Executive Tim Davis and then-Summit County Council president Kimberly A. Zurz, realized the potential for the Port Authority to spur economic development in the region and refocus the organization's efforts on job creation, development finance, and building a strong tax base.
in 2000, when James B. McCarthy became County Executive, the SCPA's powers were officially expanded, better positioning Summit County and Northeast Ohio for the economic well-being of the people who call it home.
Since its reconfiguration in 2000 as the economic development agency for the County of Summit, the Port Authority has followed its mission of providing economic benefit to the businesses and communities in our region.
