On our Tuesday program, we visited with John Buchna, the Executive Director of the Erie Downtown Partnership, to get an overview of the latest efforts in downtown planning and revitalization. Then John Persinger, the CEO of the Erie Downtown Development Corporation, returned to our studios for a fast-paced update on the national attention the EDDC is receiving, along with their investments in their focus area. Then Michael Outlaw from the Mayor’s Office returned to speak on job opportunities in the Bureau of Police, accompanied by Shantel Hilliard, Executive Director of the Booker T. Washington Center, and Deputy Chief Jon Nolan of the EPD.
