Ravenna Downtown District Plan
Building on Ravenna’s commercial core, the Downtown District Plan proposes two districts: a north-south Civil District that connects the Portage County Courthouse and administration buildings, and a west-east Cultural/Market District between Sycamore and Clinton streets.

Let's give a huge round of applause to our November MSR Youth Community Stars of the Month, Ravenna Parks and Recreation's U11 Blue Team! Read their nomination below:
"I’d like to nominate the Ravenna Parks and Recreation U11 Blue team (Coach Morris). These athletes have shown expemplory character, sportsmanship and effort. These players showed up every practice, scrimmage and game with everything a coach could ask for. They may not have won the most games, but as a coach and parent, they always played the way they were supposed to - with kindness, compassion and giving everything they had.
Some of our players had never played soccer and their growth was amazing. The returning players welcomed their new treamates and showed them tips and tricks. This team has become more than just players, they are like family. I am proud to have had the chance to coach these outstanding players and I believe their contribution to the soccer community should be noted. They represented Ravenna with excellence and the best sportsmanship I have seen in a long time.
Thank you for considering these amazing young people, they are a force for good in our community!"
The U11 Blue Team consists of: Sebastian Chaffee, Liam Calvin, Myles Siegner, Frank Podojil IV, Hunter Rhodes, Lincoln Byers, Carter Cogswell, Tommy Adkins, Arlyn Mae Morris, Rylee Twigg, Dominic Graeser, Jax Raley, Brayden Starks, Nicole Johnson

Happy #GivingTuesday !
There are so many wonderful local organizations in our community who could use your help and support this holiday season.
Consider directing a donation of your choosing to our non-profit, Main Street Ravenna. www.mainstreetravenna.org/product/main-street-friends/
Here is a sampling of how your support has helped the Ravenna Community in 2022:
- Main Street Ravenna helped contribute over $66,000 into our downtown through help of our volunteers, committee members, board members and more!
- We pursued and were awarded over $90,000 in grant funds to help the revitalization of Riddle Block 9 and to beautify downtown buildings with murals.
- Our work is being recognized regionally and nationally: The Riddle Block 9 revitalization effort was featured in Heritage Ohio’s Annual Conference in Toledo as well as Quarterly Revitalization Magazine.
- We hosted Art on Main and Raven Wings & BBQ Things events downtown, engaging the Community and bringing visitors to Ravenna
- We helped forge the path in the creation & facilitation of Ravenna’s Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). We will continue to assist the city with DORA operations.
Main Street Ravenna is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization. The large percentage of our operating budget comes from donations. We are grateful for the consideration in contributing to us and supporting Main Street Ravenna as both a place and organization.
