On our Monday broadcast of the Joel Natalie Show, we welcomed back John Buchna, Executive Director of the Erie Downtown Partnership. We got an update on what is happening, and what is on hold, for downtown Erie. Questions surrounded the concept of events like block parties or Cruise-ins, the status of the build-out in Perry Square, and what else can we expect to see–or not see–in 2021. John spoke about this concept of “re-activating” the downtown after months of shutdown because of the COVID pandemic.
