BridgeWater: Working with Erie’s newly adopted Comprehensive Plan, Community Development Group is striving to preserve the country feel of Erie while providing housing and recreational components to promote the downtown economy. Serving as a bridge between Old Town Erie, surrounding neighborhoods, the new Erie High School and open space, BridgeWater will offer residents a variety of opportunities to explore and enjoy their surroundings. The community will include almost 10 miles of trail systems, parks inspired by the seasons and a natural riparian area where native plants and animals will live and thrive. BridgeWater is a key component that will transform Erie into a self-sustaining community.
