For more than 30 years, the city of Canton, OH wanted to provide a central public space for citizens and visitors that would be iconic and transformative for the downtown core and surrounding areas. While new development projects, business ventures and regional attractions – including the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Village – were taking place, there was no investment being made in a central public space…until Canton Centennial Plaza. The Plaza plays an important role in creating a vibrant downtown and the ability to generate day-to-day activities and host major events. It acts as the “city square” for the community and a must-see landmark for visitors to Canton.
