With the recent injection of investments, it's not hard to be excited about the future of Erie.

The former came on the first day of the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership's 2019 two-day Homecoming Conference, while the latter aimed at "identifying, funding, and recruiting industry-specific startups to the Erie community."
