After the project's developer, Industrial Realty Group, admitted it was having difficulty obtaining private financing, the Summit County Port Authority agreed to issue $17 million in taxable, short-term bonds. In 2010 the city of Akron and Summit County together agreed to make available up to $42 million in federally authorized Recovery Zone Facility Bonds. The main Subsidy Tracker data contains two Workforce Development Initiative entries totaling $252,500.
