Many people will tell you there's nothing like a summer night on the bayfront. If you go this summer, you might see some changes.

Work will be happening this summer at the minigolf course and nearby Oliver’s Beer Garden on the bayfront. It's part of a development by Scott Enterprises called Harbor Place. It was announced in 2013.

The minigolf course is getting some additions.

The beer garden is getting more seats. It's also getting a cover so people can stay out of the rain.

The Scotts are paying for it with money they got from the state - but it wasn't what they wanted.

“We asked for $7 million but we got $750 thousand,” said Nicholas Scott, president of Scott Enterprises. “We appreciate everything we get from the state but it wasn’t significant enough to impact the…hotel project.”

The second hotel is part of the project's future. We'll explain the plan next week on Erie News Now Sunrise.
