Erie Events is asking the city for $4.6 million in Erie COVID-19 relief funds.
Erie Events says the pandemic has cut deeply into its finances, leaving the organization with multimillion-dollar revenue shortfalls.
Erie Events says those shortfalls could affects its ability to make more than $2 million in debt payments for two waterfront hotels. Erie Events has been making payments for years on a county-backed bond debt that aided the construction of the hotels.
