Bridging Erie County's Urban and Rural Divide - Infrastructure, Resources, and Services

The purpose of this Group Action Project for the Jefferson Civic Leadership Academy 2022 Cohort is to assess Erie County's urban-rural divide in consideration of infrastructure, resources, and services. The cohort spent seven months visiting, learning about, and researching nine municipalities across Erie County, which ties directly to this project. Putting a pen to paper they had to first define infrastructure, resources and services clearly as well as rural and urban services. Nine subcategories were assessed - broadband, economy, education, energy and utilities, healthcare and emergency services, housing, public transportation, recreation, and social services - and how they are considered throughout the nine municipalities. This action project will showcase where the county is and where the cohort want to see it go.
