Washington FTZ Applies for Expansion into Neighboring County

The Port of Moses Lake Public Corporation has applied to expand the area served by Foreign-Trade Zone 203, said a notice from the FTZ Board. The zone currently has a service area that includes Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Franklin, Grant, Kittitas, Lincoln and Walla Walla Counties, as well as parts of Okanogan and Yakima Counties, Washington. Under the expansion, it would also cover Adams County, Washington. If approved, the zone’s grantee would be able to serve sites throughout the expanded service area based on companies’ needs for FTZ designation, said the FTZB. Comments are due Sept. 8.
