Erie's Got Heart 

Last year, we asked you to spread positivity and love in our Town for Valentine’s Day. But this year we had a little bit different purpose! In support of our neighbors affected by the Marshall Fire, we wanted to share the love with them this Valentine’s Day. Erie residents picked up hearts and wrote or drew something to let our neighbors know we’re still thinking about them and are here for support. Check out the compilation video showing just how much heart Erie has to share.

Town of Erie Purchases Property for Town Center 

The Town of Erie is purchasing 19.41 acres of land from the Regency Realty Group. This land is situated at the intersection of Erie Parkway and County Line Road on the northwest corner. This parcel of land is an integral part of the Town Center project and was discussed at length during the design charrettes, which included extensive public engagement. By purchasing this property, the Town can focus on recruiting new interested parties to develop a proposed grocery store and hotel at this important location and will be able to create plans for new civic uses, which will entail more public engagement and surveying.
