The Pro Football Hall of Fame is one of the City of Canton's most unique and important assets as it attracts people from all over the country and gives Canton worldwide recognition. The 2016 Canton Comprehensive Plan identifies the Hall of Fame as one of the top three priority investment areas of the City. The purpose of this Hall of Fame Village (HOFV) District is to provide a zoning mechanism to implement the vision established in the Comprehensive Plan, which is the development of a mixed-use village that includes an expanded Hall of Fame museum, an expanded stadium field, an entertainment area, hotels, restaurants, offices, medical research facilities, and other similar uses. When completed, this area will be an even greater tourist destination that will create many new jobs and positive economic impact for the City.
