April is National County Government Month, and Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz wants to call attention to 101 ways that Erie County government serves residents and strengthens the community by highlighting the numerous roles and responsibilities of  county departments. 

“Although many people may not realize it, Erie County government is actively involved in resident’s lives in multiple ways every day. From maintaining the roads we drive on, to protecting public health and safety, to providing a county parks system that is second to none, and in many other ways Erie County government works every day to make our community better,” said Poloncarz in a press release. 
“April provides an opportunity to learn much more about how a well-managed Erie County government protects, serves and provides for over one million residents. While there really are far more than just 101 examples, this list is a good way to get started and it broadly demonstrates some of what Erie County government does.”
