Application Filed for New FTZ in Central Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Foreign-Trade Zone Corporation has submitted an application to establish a foreign-trade zone between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, according to a notice issued by the FTZ Board (here). The proposed zone would cover Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Fulton, Huntingdon and Somerset Counties. It would be established under the Alternative Site Framework, which streamlines processes for designation of new FTZ subzones and usage-driven sites within the service area by allowing companies to request zone status through the relatively simple "minor boundary modification" process. Comments are due April 14.
