FTZ Board Establishes New Zone in Cortland County, N.Y.

­­­­The Foreign-Trade Zones Board is approving the creation of a new FTZ in the Syracuse, New York area, it said in a Federal Register notice. The service area of the zone will include Cortland County. It will function under the Alternative Site Framework (ASF), which means companies will be able to request subzone status through the relatively simple "minor boundary modification" process. According to an early FTZ Board notice, the zone is the fourth in the Syracuse area (see 14021119).
