Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MISSION OF OUR WEST BAYFRONT (OWB) IS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE WEST BAYFRONT NEIGHBORHOODS BY PROMOTING CIVIC INVOLVEMENT, THOUGHTFUL DEVELOPMENT, HISTORICAL PRESERVATION, AND NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE.
VACANT PROPERTY RENOVATIONS: OUR WEST BAYFRONT WORKS WITH THE CITY OF ERIE'S LAND BANK AND LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY AND ACQUIRE VACANT AND ABANDONED PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN NEED OF RENOVATION. TO DATE OWB HAS COMPLETED THE RENOVATION OF THREE SUCH PROPERTIES CREATING 7 NEWLY RENOVATED APARTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR RENT BY LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. THE TRANSFORMATION OF THESE PROPERTIES CONTRIBUTES TO OWB'S TARGETED REVITALIZATION GOALS, AND HELPS TO STABILIZE THE MARKET IN THE TRANSITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT OWB SERVES.
REPAIR ASSISTANCE TO PROPERTY OWNERS: OWB WORKS CLOSELY WITH PROPERTY OWNERS IN A TARGETED, BLOCK BY BLOCK APPROACH TO STRENGTHENING THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN THE WEST BAYFRONT. OWB PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO PROPERTY OWNERS TO HELP THEM MAKE REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXTERIOR OF THEIR BUILDINGS, STRENGTHENING THE TAX BASE, STABILIZING THE MARKET, AND INCREASING PRIDE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IN 2019-2020 OWB PROVIDED DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO 18 PROPERTY OWNERS.
PUBLIC SPACE IMPROVEMENTS: OWB PARTNERS WITH THE CITY OF ERIE AND NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS TO CONCEPTUALIZE, DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO COMMUNITY SPACES INCLUDING PUBLIC PARKS, VACANT LOTS, AND COMMUNITY GATEWAYS. IN 2019-2020 OWB CONTINUED WORK AT BAYVIEW PARK, AN IMPORTANT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK THAT WAS NOT MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. IN ADDITION TO PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING PUBLIC ARTWORK AND NEW RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, OWB WORKS WITH PARTNERS TO PROVIDE PROGRAMMING TO INCREASE PARK USAGE.
