From Planning to Action: An Inside Look at Erie’s “War Room”
The City of Erie completed its first comprehensive plan in 50 years, Erie Refocused, which calls for a dramatic rethinking of city operations and deployment of resources. Through a four-month collaborative effort with the Planning Department of Erie County, the City was able to develop an action oriented response to the problems the City was facing as identified in the Erie Refocused plan. The presentation will discuss the planning process and findings and its importance to the City and the region.
