We are a partnership involving
- The East Bayfront Neighborhood Watch
- Erie Insurance Group
- Hamot Health Foundation
- The City of Erie
Our Vision is to improve
the quality of life in the East Bayfront Neighborhood for
the residents and assure a stable, desirable working environment
for businesses and their employees.
BEST focuses on activities in the area
between State Street and Wayne Street from the north side
of East Sixth Street north to Front Street.
BEST was first formed in the 1970s as
a non-profit development arm of Erie Insurance to rehabilitate
the Federal Row townhouses on Holland Street between East
Fourth and East Fifth Street. BEST was deactivated for about
20 years after accomplishing this goal. It was reactivated
in 2000 as a partnership between the East Bayfront Neighborhood
Watch, Hamot and Erie Insurance in response to the East Bayfront
Neighborhood Strategic Plan.
BEST Goals are
to promote
- Quality Housing
- Youth and Safety Programs
- Coordinated City Services
- Positive Neighborhood Image
BEST is financially
supported by many local organizations. Contact
