Akron has a rich heritage. Native American history, joined with that of the pioneers who settled here, continues to influence the community through street names, cultural activities, and traditions. The past decade saw the construction of a new power substation on Eckerson Avenue replacing the old substation on Mill Street. A major upgrade occurred at the Sewer Plant providing dual digesting capability and more efficient operations. The water transmission line between Bennington and Akron was replaced as Akron implemented the largest utility project in its history. Plans are now underway to replace the Spillway and Dam in Bennington to preserve the Akron Water System for another 75 or more years. Perrys Ice Cream has become a major regional ice cream manufacturer and distributor of food products throughout the state. A major renovation to Main Street, and storefronts, combining the historical aspects with current needs has taken place. A new library is underway on Main Street adjacent to the Village Hall with opening planned for late 2001. Whiting Roll Up Doors has grown in size and recognition for quality products throughout the world. Akron Rule, Strippit, Ford Gum, and I Squared R are flourishing. Adessa Auto Auction, a new industry just outside of village limits, has become a major employer in the greater Akron area and being serviced by the Akron Sewer System. An annual "New Year's Eve Ball Drop" has become a major winter event in the village, along with renewed interest in the "fourth of July" celebration that has occurred in Akron for more than a half century. The Akron Band continues its summer concerts in Russell Park that is seen as major Friday night events during July and August. Source: Erie County Find homes for sale in Akron New York
