ERIE — The tallest building in Erie County is getting a $65 million makeover, and Gov. Josh Shapiro was in town on Friday for the groundbreaking ceremony. The building at 1001 State St., known as the Renaissance Center, will become the Trust Hotel, a 195-room boutique hotel in the next two years.

The 100-year-old building will preserve its historic character like the art deco details, arched windows, bronze elevator doors and murals.
