It’s an exciting time for Erie County.

With a strong history and industrial roots, the region has firmly positioned itself with the technology, manufacturing, logistics and distribution infrastructures needed to support the businesses of tomorrow.

Throughout this renaissance, the Erie County Redevelopment Authority (ECRDA) has played a pivotal role in local business development, facilitating loan and grant funding and providing expert technical assistance for hundreds of businesses.
