Celebrating 200 years of Erie County!
“At times in our history it is important to pause and reflect on where we’ve been, the challenges and successes we’ve had, and the path that has brought us to this point in time…having this historical perspective makes us better-prepared to understand our role and responsibility in continuing Erie County’s growth for the next 200 years.” – Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz
