Neighborhoods in Action to Build a Better Bayfront Community
OWB’s mission is to enhance the quality of life in Erie’s West Bayfront neighborhoods through civic engagement, thoughtful development, historical preservation and neighborhood pride. Our West Bayfront is an inclusive and thriving community where neighbors look out for neighbors, partners work together to preserve and enhance the West Bayfront’s unique assets, and mobilized residents are shaping the future of our neighborhoods and our city.
We’ve launched OWB Forward!
What is OWB Forward?
Our West Bayfront has a lot to celebrate, and even more to look forward to. OWB Forward is an opportunity for neighbors, businesses, organizations, and community partners to come together to reflect on what’s working, identify shared priorities, and create a vision for the future of our community.
Through community events, workshops, surveys, and conversations, your ideas and experiences are helping shape the next chapter of Our West Bayfront.
