Corpus Christi FTZ Applies for Expansion into Neighboring County

The Corpus Christi port authority has applied to expand the area served by Foreign-Trade Zone 122, said a notice from the FTZ Board. The zone currently has a service area that includes Nueces, San Patricio, Aransas, Jim Wells, Kleberg and Bee Counties, Texas. Under the proposed expansion, it would also cover Refugio County, Texas. 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 by Sept. 23.
