1. Treat Bridgeport as a defined service location
Bridgeport is a municipal-town in Saginaw County, Michigan. That exact relationship matters when you assess a county-based footprint: a plan limited to Saginaw County would include Bridgeport, while a statewide plan would use a much broader set of cities.
Recommended approach
Begin with a service-area inventory. Mark whether your firm actually accepts matters from Bridgeport, the rest of Saginaw County, nearby Michigan communities, or locations beyond that county. Then compare a Saginaw County footprint with a statewide option.
