Erie County's Impact Investor

Founded in 2008, the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority was created to administer municipal grants and serve as the main driver of economic development in Erie County. Today, it’s expanded its focus to impact investments at every level of community — from schools to small businesses to neighborhoods to municipalities — intended to uplift not only the regional economy, but also its society, culture, and environment.
