Why the well?
Creating Community from the Inside Out
We believe that every community should have a “well”. In ancient times, wells were not simply places to get water; everyone from the community— regardless of socioeconomic status or race—came to the well to connect with one another, and gather the resources they needed to live.
We believe we have an opportunity to create a well on the east side of Akron at 647 E. Market Street. The Well CDC will be a vehicle in which the communities of Akron can reinvest resources into the economy, create collaborative partnerships, invest in the housing stock, and dream of placemaking initiatives.
