Former Erie Coke Site

On October 6th 2023,  a partnership between The Erie-Western PA Port Authority (EWPPA) & The Erie County Redevelopment Authority (ECRDA) was formed at a joint meeting of the Board of Directors to investigate the potential acquisition and environmental clean-up of the former Erie Coke Corporation property. On May 15th 2024, EWPPA became owners of the property.

Information about the property and updates on the progress are available through the ECRDA:

Since late 2024, EWPPA has been working to develop a vision for the future of the property, transforming it into a vital component of the City of Erie and the Lake Erie waterfront. This process has included community and stakeholder input at multiple steps along the way, including an open house and online feedback opportunity in October 2025.
