WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO …

Officials with actionable intelligence to identify, attract and retain

prospective companies by highlighting their potential savings from

performing myriad activities within these designated areas.

FTZ OFFICIALS HARD PRESSED TO AVOID LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE

HARD TO CAPTURE ECONOMIC BENEFITS

FTZ OFFICIALS LACK THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO MAXIMIZE THEIR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ZONES

US Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) consistently face the conundrum of knowing that multiple economic benefits accrue to their local region but are challenged by not knowing which companies maximize those benefits

An FTZ’s inability to fully realize economic benefits of providing companies a cost effective environment for import/export transactions is due to lack of time, resources and expertise to properly identify:

IDENTIFY PROBLEM

NOT ATTRACTING THE RIGHT COMPANIES IS A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY COST

FTZ = REAL ECONOMIC STIMULUS

LONG TERM FISCAL BENEFITS THAT ACCRUE TO LOCAL AND STATE ECONOMIES ARE AT RISK OF BEING LOST

An FTZ’s inability to identify all eligible companies may force local communities to forgo the following benefits:

PROVEN CAPACITY TO CREATE AND RETAIN JOBS BEYOND MANUFACTURING AND EXPORTS

ADDITIONAL TAX INCOME ACCRUING TO BOTH LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS

ADDITIONAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN PHYSICAL AND UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE

ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY IDENTIFY AND ATTRACT BUSINESS AND INCREASE GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS
