Good morning, Erie.

Site preparation has begun today at 15th Street and Pittsburgh Avenue as Purvis Industries starts building a 26,250 sqft industrial facility on a 2.5-acre lot in Millcreek.

The new building will house ErieTec operations and ease space constraints for increased production.

Renovations at Grover Cleveland School (1540 W.

38th St) began in May with work on new classrooms and a gym for temporary student use underway, costing over $23 million. Erie School District officials say portions will open in December, with complete upgrades and final gym features due by December 2027.

Local and federal officials met yesterday at the Tom Ridge Environment Center to address the shortfall in federal funds for Presque Isle's sand replenishment project using a 50-50 match agreement that has crumbled.

They agreed to explore options for a long-term funding solution to protect the park's shores, dunes, and roads.

Health experts urge Erie residents to follow proper produce washing practices (rinsing under cool running water and scrubbing firmer items) to help lower the risk of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection linked to produce outbreaks in 45 states.

CDC advises thorough handwashing with soap and water before food preparation.

The 24th Annual Presque Isle Triathlon returns Saturday at Presque Isle State Park with a sold-out 7:30 a.m. start + Erie County’s first Bubble Run at Lake Erie Speedway and the Millcreek Summer Sizzler Baseball Tournament Series add more sports action this weekend in Erie.
