During this special event, local economist Ken Louie, Ph.D., director of the Economic Research Institute of Erie (ERIE) and associate professor of economics in the Black School of Business at Penn State Behrend, will discuss the real facts, figures and trends behind the economic outlook for 2019. He will be joined by David N.
