Akron completed the first phase of its Main Street construction project last fall and now says it will begin the biggest street repaving project in its history.
Fairly fresh off the heels of a $31 million, two-year renovation of downtown's Main Street that finished last fall, Akron's embarking on the biggest street resurfacing project for the city's nearly 200-year history.
Work on Main Street continues in phase two of the makeover, but now Mayor Dan Horrigan has announced the city will spend more than $11 million to pave roughly 85 miles of streets running through neighborhoods and business districts.
