NorthEast Area Renaissance, or NEAR, is a Northeast Canton, Ohio, community organization begun in 1992  by a small group of residents, businesses, churches, associations and social agencies to contribute to a rebirth of the economic, social, cultural, and spiritual  life of the community.

The quadrant is defined by Maple Avenue on the west to the city limits on the east and from Sixth Street on the south to Atlantic Boulevard on the north. The gateway to the area is a trio of beautiful green spaces - Nimisilla Park, Cook Park, and Cook Lagoon.  The Lagoon which is fed by branches of the Nimishillen Creek is the site of an annual fishing derby sponsored by Stark Parks.
