Canton's mayor and City Council have set clear intentions for economic development as well as resident and visitor experiences in the city of Canton. Adding a manager of economic development & tourism to Team Canton last year and forming the Canton Cultural Arts Commission (CCAC) are two major accomplishments. Naturally following these arts and culture wins for our city, the CCAC's choice to hire Designing Local for the completion of an arts master plan is a creative next step to continue community planning and cultural arts initiatives over the next 10 years.
