The West Hill Neighborhood Organization (WHNO) is a community-focused entity in Akron, OH, dedicated to supporting growth, investment, and development through various events and outreach programs. Founded in 1997 by West Hill residents, WHNO initially aimed to preserve the historical fabric of the local community, leading to the listing of the Hall Park Allotment Historic District on the National Historic Register in 2002. Currently, WHNO is actively promoting the Unified Public District 40 (UPD40) special zoning area, which encourages retail businesses within homes, and is planning the construction of a UPD40 Community House to showcase this housing concept.
Serving the West Hill neighborhood as defined by The City of Akron, WHNO covers the area between Cascade Valley and West Akron Sherbondy Hill, from Rhodes Ave. to the north Highland Square border, and Innerbelt Pkwy to the south Downtown Akron border. Major thoroughfares within this neighborhood include Maple St., North St., Exchange St., W. Market St., and Crosby St. With a strong focus on fostering neighborhood pride and a desire to live, work, and play in West Hill, Akron, WHNO continues to play a vital role in the community's growth and development.
