Canton Development Partnership to lead creation of new downtown living units decided to take a leadership position 222 Market Ave. N. Canton, OH 44702 (330) 456-0468 fax (330) 452-7786 cdp@cantonchamber.org www.DowntownCanton.com Dennis P. Saunier President & CEO

in creating some new and unique living units in downtown Canton. Intuitively, we believed there was a demand for market rate apartments in our center city. This notion was confirmed by a recent survey by CMOResearch of the Stark County market.

Krista Shuff Schumacher Events Manager

The survey results revealed that 6.6 percent of the Stark County population was “very interested” in downtown Canton loft or apartment space. Furthermore, 14.8 percent indicated that they were “somewhat interested.” These survey results—a combined 21.4 percent—support our strategy to take a lead role in downtown community development by creating new market rate apartments.

Annette Rosenberger Office Manager Denise Burton Membership Director Jessica Bennett Marketing Director & Editor Sarah Lutz Graphics Manager The Canton Development Partnership is a coalition of area development organizations and city government that share an interest in downtown Canton’s continual improvement, revitalization, image, and quality of life for its citizens.

Its mission is to support and coordinate the activities and programs of its partner organizations in order to encourage and sustain community and economic development in downtown Canton.

The partnering organizations include: Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Canton Special Improvement District, Downtown Canton Land Bank, Canton Tomorrow, Inc., and City of Canton.

Information regarding downtown events and news can be submitted for reprint at the discretion of the Partnership director and publication editor.

Advertising rates and specifications are available by contacting the Chamber sales department at (330) 458-2067.

The Downtown Canton Land Bank, which is a constituent organization of the Canton Development Partnership, will carry out this exciting strategy. The land bank will utilize one of their owned buildings for the project, located at 400 McKinley Ave. NW, to launch the program.

The building, which is already home to Canton Glass Works, will see first floor renovation for retail tenants, along with the second floor renovation to create six new apartments. By starting from scratch on the second floor, we hope to incorporate all of the modern conveniences in the units as well as add in some cool features.

The building has attached parking for both shoppers and apartment tenants.

The project is not inexpensive, but we feel that someone needs to lead the charge for downtown living. Bank financing has been obtained and we expect the project to begin immediately. Our hope is to encourage the development of other units downtown by other groups and developers. Downtown Canton looks good and feels good, but we need people living downtown to continue the momentum each and every day.

The Kresge Block, aka the downtown “Green Space”—the area previously occupied by the Kresge Building along Market.

Ave. N between Third and Fourth Streets— has received an official name after years of serving as a location for downtown festivals and gatherings without a widelyused moniker. The location has been newly dubbed “Market Square” through a contest held by The City of Canton and Canton City Council. We share the City’s hope that this descriptive new name will create a sense of “place” in our downtown and that the space will continue to be used by the city, organizations, citizens and visitors to downtown daily.

As always, thanks for your support of downtown. Remember to visit the restaurants, art studios and galleries, museums, and retailers often. They all need your support!

Eat&Drink: New & Coming Soon to Downtown Throughout the summer, downtown Canton has ushered in many new flavors to savor, with more on the way into the fall.

Looking for something new to check out this weekend? Read on for more details about downtown’s latest sizzles, sips and snacks. And don’t forget to visit DowntownCanton.com for the official guide to downtown Canton dining, arts, entertainment and more!

B Side Wine House

575 Market Ave. N | (330) 451-2070 www.bsidewinehouse.com Hours: Mon.-Wed. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Th. from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fri. from noon to 9 p.m., and Sat. 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Ever find yourself staring at a sea of wine labels, a virtual novice with no idea what to select? Leave trial-and-error wine shopping behind and stop by B Side Wine House, open now in downtown Canton. You won’t find snobby wine connoisseurs, intimidating lingo or an overwhelming number of options and too-pricey bottles at B Side. Instead, B Side’s staff makes buying wine as enjoyable as, well, drinking wine!

This unique retail wine store offers unique, private label wines from all of the world, daily wine tastings in a comfortable wine lounge, even a space to host your own private tasting events – perfect for meetings and gatherings. B Side’s helpful, courteous staff will even come to your home or office to host a wine tasting for you!

Henry’s Gourmet Popcorn

532 Cleveland Ave. NW | (330) 455-CORN Hours: Mon.-Fri. from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sat. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Something buttery and delicious has popped up next door to the Joseph Saxton Gallery of Photography. From caramel to cheesy—16 varieties in all, with more on the way—owner Henry Thompson of Henry’s Gourmet Popcorn offers just that: highquality, gourmet popcorn.

Henry’s offers the old standbys, including mixes of the salty and sweet varieties from real butter and cheese ingredients, along with combinations that are sure to soon be household names. Thompson is experimenting with new flavors, including flavors named for your favorite candy bars, nuts and all! And prices are reasonable from just $3 and up per bag.

Tozzi’s Restaurant Downtown

218 Court Ave. | (330) 471-8000 Hours: Tues.-Wed. from 4 to 10 p.m., Th. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fri. from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sat. from 4 to 11 p.m.

Tozzi’s Restaurant opened in downtown Canton on Court Ave. earlier this year, and has since become a popular lunch, dinner and after work stop for busy professionals and night-outers. The Italian steakhouse boasts delicious, signature cuts of beef and classic pastas.

A stop in at lunchtime on Thursdays and Fridays means you can try the Original Shamrock Deli sandwich, Canton’s most beloved, piled high with thinly-sliced corned beef brisket, fried Hungarian peppers, provolone, and house made coleslaw all on toasted sourdough. And Tozzi’s certainly knows cocktails, as the husband-wife team, Duke and Dina Tozzi, also operate Picciano’s Martini Bar along Market Ave. Tozzi’s features live music every Friday evening, and a private wine room is available for events.

Basil Asian Bistro

585 Market Ave. N | (330) 452-3888 Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fri. and Sat. from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

We’ve welcomed our first upscale, authentic Asian eatery to downtown Canton with Basil Asian Bistro, next door to the Canton Palace Theatre. Don’t be fooled by the name—Basil is an essential ingredient in Asian cooking as well as in Italian. If you’re looking for Italian dishes, you’re out of luck. But don’t leave without trying the house specialty: Coconut Spaghetti!

Basil shares the same roots as Ricky Ly, the family that first brought upscale Asian cuisine to Stark County more than two decades ago. The Ly family uses only the freshest ingredients, along with unique cooking techniques, to create the succulent dishes on the menu. Sushi, sashimi, noodle dishes and more traditional Chinese, Japanese and Thai dishes abound at Basil.

The Lion’s Den

111 Cleveland Ave. S | (330) 454-LION Hours: Tues.-Sat. 11a.m. to 1a.m. starting late summer.

The Lion’s Den, opening late summer, is bringing the best of both worlds to downtown diners – dinner and entertainment! The cuisine is internationally inspired: Mediterranean, Italian, Greek, even Asian dishes, with a focus on seafood and pasta, and the restaurant includes a full-service bar. The upscale restaurant, with casual prices, has delicacies that will delight, but the real king of the jungle in this den is entertainment, entertainment and more entertainment!

In fact, diners can expect nightly entertainment, from Rat Pack shows, dancing, performances by acts like Jimmy and the Soul Blazers, jazz ensembles, comedy acts and more. By partnering with Andrew Fulmer Dance Studio, owner Frank Demetro can provide performances in both the lounge and ballroom. He describes it as a dualpersonality venue, with intimacy on one side, and mega-watt entertainment on the other. You can even get dance instruction while you visit!

Valet parking, along with access to the attached parking deck, makes getting there a snap.

The ballroom is available for event and wedding rentals.

First Friday Tidbits

August 3: Carnival of Art Stilt walkers, balloon benders, escape artists and a fanciful fortress of freaks (but, you know, in a good way!) will frolic through the Canton Arts District, bringing the hometown zaniness to a street party that’s smack dab in the middle of Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival hoopla. Ryan Humbert is the featured main stage performer, with street musicians Tim Griffiths and Thom Ebersole keeping it cool on Court Avenue.

September 7: Now We’re Cooking A guilt-free evening of digestible delights, including food tastings, chocolate demonstrations and the Brewed Roots Festival (presented by Buzzbin Magazine), will please the palette of even the most finicky First Friday fans. Restaurant specials will be offered by downtown favorites, who will sweeten the deal with local musicians, art vendors and displays to satisfy all the senses.

October 5: Once Upon A Time You’re never too old for a good bedtime story, and that’s just what you’ll get at this month’s First Friday.

Fairy tale characters will come to life to create new memories and spin old tales. Children’s activities will be more than a bit Grimm and the dancing, singing, cajoling and cavorting will not be restricted to the fairest of them all.

Evil queens, trolls and a dragon or two just may be in the fray for this evening devoted to play.

First Friday is sponsored by the Stark Community Foundation and is celebrated every first Friday of the month from 6 to 10 p.m. in downtown Canton. First Friday is presented by ArtsinStark, The County Arts Council, and the Downtown Canton Special Improvement District.

City of Canton Public Space Recycling program kicks-off

D

owntown

Canton

is

about to get a whole lot greener! This August, the

City of Canton is launching their latest foray into greening our community: a Public Space Recycling Program throughout the city.

The program provides for dual-stream recycling containers, approximately 40 in all, throughout the public areas in the city.

Many of the receptacles will be located throughout downtown Canton. Each receptacle measures six feet wide, by four feet high and two feet deep, and provides two bins that can accept paper, all plastic materials, aluminum and glass, along with a single bin for trash.

The City has partnered with Greener Corners, headquartered in New Rutherford, New Jersey. The company offers the turnkey service—including creation of the custom units, installation and maintenance, along with educational programs to help city residents and visitors properly use the containers. This is the second stage in the recycling program that the City implemented in 2010, with free home recycling pickup for all residents living in the City of Canton.

Greener Corners offers a cost-free, fullservice Public Space Recycling program serving municipalities, universities, shopping centers, sports complexes, and other public and private institutions to help advance

their public recycling efforts. The company’s mission is to make public recycling readily available, build awareness about the importance of recycling and its parallel implications on the environment, and raise community revenue without raising taxes.

“Our goal is to help area residents play an active role in increasing the recycling output in Canton, to make recycling on the commercial and residential level a way of life in Canton,” said Aaron Klein, liaison to the City for Greener Corners.

Greener Corners places state-of-the-art recycling bins in high foot-traffic areas like street corners and parks, develops education platforms and public awareness campaigns, and tracks recycling rate increases.

The educational and public awareness campaigns—headed by local volunteer “green teams”—work to educate residents and help increase use. The campaign includes in-school programming along with messaging on the bins themselves.

“We are very excited to partner with Greener Corners to provide this environmentally conscious service at no cost to our taxpayers,” stated Mayor Healy. “With the success of our curbside program, the addition of public space recycling is the next logical step. We hope the community will accept this program with the same level of enthusiasm.”

In fact, depending on the size of the community, the program has routinely seen diversion rates as high as 75 percent, meaning that as much as 75 percent of materials that would previously have gone into landfills have instead been recycled through the use of these containers.

The program offers the units at no cost to the city, and the investment made by Greener Corners is recouped through advertising sales opportunities on each receptacle. Each receptacle provides a 5’ x 2’ advertising space, with prices beginning at $150 monthly.

“Downtown Canton doesn’t currently have a great deal of outdoor advertising opportunities, and this provides an affordable option for businesses to garner greater exposure. Our units are attractive and in high-visibility areas, but they blend into the streetscape,” said Klein.

The City worked closely with the Downtown Canton Special Improvement District and the Canton Park Board of Commissioners on the project planning.

For more information about the program, visit www.cantonohio.gov, or contact Derek Gordon, assistant safety/service director for the City of Canton. To advertise, contact Aaron Klein at aaron@greenercorners.com or (201) 638-2218.

Greener Corners has found a very high level of usage and low levels of contamination.

Work begins this fall on $4.9 million Eric Snow YMCA This September, preparation will begin on downtown Canton’s new, 26,000 sq. ft. YMCA facility. The new facility, named for local basketball hero Eric Snow, will be constructed on the existing site, located at McKinley Ave. and 2nd Street NW, near Timken High School and the downtown Canton Arts District.

Snow, a graduate of McKinley High School and former NBA player, has donated $1 million in support for his hometown Y, which closed in 2008. When the Eric Snow YMCA opens in December 2013, the facility will have more efficient systems and far less overhead than its predecessor.

The exciting capital redevelopment project will yield a new, stateof-the art YMCA including a gymnasium, indoor aquatic center, wellness center, multipurpose rooms, locker rooms, kids’ zone play area and learning lab/classroom.

The goal of the new Y is to provide youth sports and aquatic lessons, including water safety programs.

It will also provide health and wellness programs, group exercise, adult sports leagues and, of course, a variety of family programs.

Through these facilities and programs, the Y will build character, leadership and scholarship among those it serves.

And the facility will be 26 percent the size of the previous facility, especially with the elimination of the residences in the previous building.

“What we will have is room for expansion off of the gymnasium.

We’re planning a Y that will burst at the seams,” said Joseph Schauer, chairman of the board for the Canton YMCA. (continued on next page)

Canton’s YMCA has a long history, boasting Major William McKinley as a past president of its board in the late 1800s. Even then, the goal of the Y was to nurture the potential of every child.

And that’s exactly the mission that the Eric Snow YMCA will aspire to: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. And they will fulfill the promise of YMCAs nationwide—never turning anyone away for inability to pay.

To date, the campaign has raised $3.9 million of the $4.9 million needed, and is still seeking pledges of all sizes from the community.

More information about the project, and information on how you can support the campaign, are available online at www.HelpCantonKids.org.
