April 2021
National County Government Month (NCGM) is an annual celebration of county government held each April.
To celebrate NCGM, we are highlighting our county programs to raise public awareness and understanding about the various services provided to the community.
We in Erie County are proud of the programs and services we provide to our residents. We hope you will celebrate with us this month and learn how the county can assist you and your loved ones.
Residents ages 18 and younger can enter the “I Love My County Because” art contest.
Apply today to start your journey toward serving all residents of Erie County.
