What happened
The Strong Future tax, which collected approximately $84 million between 2019 and 2025, is subject to a potential indefinite renewal. The tax funds five areas, including wildfire mitigation, early childhood care, and behavioral health programs. The renewal hinges on voters passing Summit County Referred Measure 1A this November.

Why it matters
The tax funds public services, mostly through local organizations, and the county has spent about $73 million of the collected funds. If the tax is renewed, it could ensure continued county revenue to support local projects in Akron.
