Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz is asking residents living in cities, towns, and villages of Erie County to participate in a new survey that will help to identify priorities, challenges, and opportunities. Responses to the “Envision Erie” survey will allow government officials to better understand the wants and needs of residents involving issues such as housing, public safety, economic development, public health, infrastructure, workforce development, and participation in local government.
“Envision Erie is a way for all residents to express what’s important to them about Erie County, whether it’s business, health, quality of life, education, infrastructure, or whatever might be on their mind. This is a way we can all have input, hopefully producing actionable ideas that can improve our county for future generations,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz.
At the survey’s conclusion Erie County will:
Analyze survey responses and community input throughout the summer
Identify key trends and priorities expressed by residents, and
Develop and release a public-facing Action Plan in Fall 2026, outlining how Erie County will respond to identified community needs and priorities.
The survey will be open for 90 day, and is available at www.erie.gov/envisionerie
Paper surveys will be made available at community centers, senior centers and libraries across Erie County.
