==Economy==
There are currently four or five mink farms in Peoa. In the past there were significantly more as this was one of the town's major industries. The mink farms have also served as a source of tension between the Summit County sheriff's department and animal rights activist groups. Air pollution from mink farming continues to be an environmental problem.Other industries that contribute to the economy of Peoa are a large rock quarry, the birthing and first-year raising of beef/cattle and growing hay. Horses, goats, alpaca and buffalo are among the other animals raised and or boarded in this area.
Peoa has basically two roads, one of which is called "Wooden Shoe Road." The name was given to the road in part by the amount of Dutch and Scandinavian settlers that lived in the area who wore wooden clogs or wooden shoes. There may have been an old shop that at one point sold wooden shoes. The other road is SR-32.
