Savocchio Opportunity Park

History

Named for Joyce Savocchio—Erie's first female mayor and a lifelong champion of minority inclusion—the Savocchio Opportunity Park is Erie's most intentional development address. Situated in Erie's historic eastside industrial corridor, the park pairs a compelling incentive stack with a mission-driven environment focused on minority entrepreneurship, job creation, and community reinvestment. The Grow Erie hydroponics facility within the park brings that mission to life. Developed in partnership between the Minority Community Investment Coalition (MCIC) and Integrated Agriculture Systems (INTAG), Grow Erie delivers fresh, locally grown produce to a USDA-designated food desert while providing meaningful job training and employment to neighborhood residents. Erie’s sixth-generation Curtze Food Service is an anchor commercial buyer for the enterprise. The Savocchio Opportunity Park is now synonymous with cutting-edge ag-tech.
