Erie County
 Erie County is a metropolitan center in New York State bounded by Lake Erie to the west. Almost half of the bi-national U.S. and Canadian population are within a 500 mile radius of Erie County. In addition, three quarters of Canada’s manufacturing activity and 55 percent of the United States’ manufacturing activity falls within that radius.
