Dear Residents of Stow,



As we move into May, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible momentum building across our community and thank you for continuing to make Stow a place defined by collaboration, pride, and civic engagement. 

Stow Named Top 20 All-America City Finalist

I am proud to share that the City of Stow has been named a Top 20 Finalist for the 2026 All-America City Award presented by the National Civic League — one of the nation’s most prestigious community honors. This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to civic engagement, inclusion, and the strong partnerships that make Stow such a vibrant place to live.

This achievement belongs to all of us — residents, volunteers, community partners, and City staff — whose dedication continues to move Stow forward.

Together We Are Stow: Built by Community PEP RALLY!

To celebrate this incredible milestone, I invite everyone to join us for the “Together We Are Stow: Built by Community PEP RALLY!” This event will bring our community together in a fun, energetic setting as we prepare for the next steps in the All-America City finalist process.

It’s an opportunity to show our Stow pride, celebrate our accomplishments, and recognize what makes our community truly special — you.

The AMP: Building the Beat — Momentum Continues

The excitement from our AMP groundbreaking on April 12 was truly remarkable. The event marked a major milestone in bringing Stow’s future outdoor performance venue to life, and the energy from the community was inspiring.

We are now continuing that momentum with the next phase of the “Building the Beat” AMP Pop-Up Series, designed to keep residents engaged as construction progresses. These upcoming events will continue to offer interactive, family-friendly opportunities to experience the future of The AMP and celebrate this transformational project together.

Road Improvements on State Route 91 & 59

As construction season continues, we want to thank residents for your patience as important improvements are underway along State Route 91 and State Route 59. These projects include roadway enhancements, signal upgrades, and utility coordination designed to improve safety and traffic flow throughout our community.

We understand construction can be inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding as we invest in long-term improvements. Please continue to stay informed about traffic updates, lane restrictions, and project progress through our City website and official news alerts.

Looking Ahead

May is a month of celebration, progress, and continued community connection. From statewide recognition to local improvements and exciting new projects, Stow is truly building something special together.

Thank you for your continued support, engagement, and pride in our community.

Warm regards,

Mayor John Pribonic
