We must work together on a shared vision to create our new future.
In order to transform Erie, we need to take action on the recommendations outlined in Erie Refocused, Emerge 2040, and the Downtown Master Plan, as well as other initiatives underway in Erie’s neighborhoods. We must work to ensure that the plans are tied together and that we are on the same page to support neighborhood revitalization, economic and community development, and public safety.
