B.E.S.T. makes Erie Better!

Beautification. Walkability. Home Repair. Increased exterior lighting. Public art. Food access. Connecting neighbors to available resources.

Every dollar spent at B.E.S.T. helps increase property values, enhance safety, and continues to make the Historic East Bayfront a safe, affordable, and vibrant place to call home.

We're where Erie began and where Erie is heading. Help us continue making Erie better.

Our impact this year has changed our community!
