The two largest cities in Summit County in both square miles and population share a large area locally known as The Valley. From bars and restaurants to recreation, to housing and other development, The Valley has been a destination for many in Summit County, though there has been known to be bottlenecks due to traffic and weather conditions.

Don Walters is the mayor of Cuyahoga Falls, and he joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to share his perspective on the continued development in the region, which shares the northern and eastern portions of the Valley.

Akron mayor Dan Horrigan recently met with Walters about this partnership in this advancement, which he called "historic."
