Congratulations to our Stay Category Winner: Layer Zero Power Systems. 🎉

Layer Zero first established a presence in Aurora in 2012 with 14 employees.

With headquarters and operations in Aurora and expanding operations in Streetsboro, the company will employ over 800 people in Portage County in three years. PDB has worked with the cities and Team NEO since 2012 to help this company stay and grow in Portage County.

People. Projects. Progress.

A few weeks ago, we gathered to celebrate our annual Locate. Stay. Grow. awards ceremony, recognizing 16 Portage County companies and the people behind the projects that helped shape a successful 2025.

Every achievement starts with dedicated people, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to moving our community forward. Together, we're driving People, Projects, Progress across Portage County.

Congratulations to all of our award winners, and thank you to our sponsors, partners, and The New Center for helping make this event possible.

Stay tuned as we reveal our top three category winners in the coming weeks!
