- In April of 2021, the Town of Erie was awarded a $25,000 Economic Development Administration grant to partially fund the Makerspace Feasibility Study. After a competitive RFP process, the Town selected AYRES Associates Inc. to conduct the feasibility study. The consultants conducted several stakeholder meetings, site visits and multiple discussions with internal staff. AYRES presented their findings in Nov 2021.
The research ultimately provided a site to locate the Makerspace (Schofield Farms), an operational structure, and estimated costs. Since late 2021 the Town and the Makerspace Foundation Committee has been continuing to advance the progress of this amenity. If you are interested in volunteering on the committee, please contact economicdevelopment@erieco.gov. - Ayers Presentation to Board of Trustees, Jan. 18, 2022
