County Executive Poloncarz has announced the Storefront Revitalization Program’s round 2 winners! Due to the overwhelming response during the 2022 application process, round 2 grant recipients were selected from the existing applicant pool. Last year, we received 678 applications from qualifying businesses. At that time, Erie County was able to fund 260 grants. The additional $5 million that was added to the program in April, 2023 will allow Erie County to fund another 117 projects. 

On Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 at 6:30pm the Department of Environment and Planning held an online orientation meeting for the Round 2 awarded business owners.  The recorded video of this meeting is available HERE.
