Sharon Township Demographics

Sharon Township Facts

Sharon Township is one of Medina County’s fastest growing areas, and as such, it boasts three corporate parks, each with its own unique features and factors for consideration.

Sharon Industrial Park and neighboring Sharon Corporate Park are located just south of picturesque Sharon Center, a community reminiscent of the New England area from which its founding fathers came. Both parks are just north of I-76, a major east-west highway with convenient access to I-71 and I-77, the Akron Canton Airport, and Akron. Nestled in a tranquil valley, these two parks are easily accessible by both suppliers and workforce.

Portside Corporate Park is adjacent to Medina Municipal Airport and is positioned on the vital S.R. 18 corridor between Medina and Akron. This fully developed industrial park with industrial zoning that allows for manufacturing, warehousing/distribution and office uses is located in one of Northern Ohio’s fastest growing corridors. Close to I-71, I-271, I-77 and I-80/Ohio Turnpike, this new industrial/commercial park can offer your business proximity to the Port of Cleveland, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, hotels and entertainment. Portside Corporate Park offers potential benefits by being located in both a Community Reinvestment Area and a designated Foreign Trade Zone.

Sharon Center, the township’s picturesque hub, features a beautiful tree-shaded park with gazebo and restored historical buildings and homes. On a summer’s eve, time-tested events such as a strawberry festival or band concert bring young and old together to enjoy the park and the community’s many amenities. Sharon Township combines rural heritage with the best of today’s development in one exciting package.
