Thank you to everyone who has signed and supported this effort so far.

We know many of you have seen the City’s recent updates and may be wondering:

Is it too late to make a difference?

The answer is no.

While demolition is still the cities choice, the front portion of the building is not expected to be impacted for many months, and the decisions about the site’s future are still unfolding. 

What happens next: how the site is reused, what alternatives have not been explored, and how the community is involved - is still very much undecided. 

📍 Join us on site:
Saturday, April 18 | 1:00–3:00 PM
1200 South Main Street, Akron

This will be a public protest and educational gathering focused on what’s possible for Firestone Plant One.

We’ll be sharing materials on:

  • Environmental feasibility alternatives
  • Adaptive reuse strategies
  • Opportunities for community involvement

There will also be refreshments and a space to connect with others who care about Akron’s future.
