For families with preschool children, infants and toddlers in East Akron, two boarded-up buildings will soon be refurbished to provide Head Start and Early Head Start programming.
Community Action Akron Summit, which owns properties at 839 S. Arlington St. and 1037 Wyley Ave., will use $4 million in federal funds to renovate the buildings — both formerly used as day care facilities. The money will also support expansion of the parking lot and additional services for families who participate in the nonprofit’s programs, said Malcolm Costa, its president and CEO.
