"With a deal in place for the Erie County Industrial Development Agency to acquire nearly 148 acres of land along Route 5 from Dona Street to the south and just beyond Ridge Road to the north, county officials said the acquisition will put a swath of prime industrial land in local hands, with an eye toward turning it into a site that can be quickly developed by manufacturers," adds Robinson.
