The City of Cuyahoga Falls worked to renew and restore the Riverfront Pedestrian Mall area and the Better Block was a unique and innovative way to catapult and enhance the city’s efforts. Better Block was able to showcase the opportunity for the area and encourage entrepreneurial spirit on the Riverfront.
