Erie County Municipal Infrastructure GAP Funding Program ($2,500,000)
To support, empower, and advance Erie County municipalities, the County is providing funds to create a Municipal Infrastructure GAP Funding Program. Funds may be used to invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, and to expand access to broadband internet. These funds are being administered by the Erie County Department of Planning and Community Development, whose responsibilities include, but are not limited to, developing program guidelines, application and review processes, all necessary contracts and reporting forms, and a communication strategy to promote the grant program and remitting to the County reporting documentation.
