RE: Foreign Trade Zone Designation – voestalpine Texas LLC
Dear Ms. Lopez-Sosa:
Nueces County has been provided information regarding voestalpine
Texas LLC’s application for Foreign Trade Zone subzone designation in
San Patricio County. We understand that imported inventory and
inventory held in a foreign trade zone for export will be exempt from
certain ad valorem taxes. We support the application as a means of
diversifying the economy and promoting economic growth in the region.
Nueces County does not object to the request for sponsorship of Foreign
Trade Zone submitted to the Foreign Trade Zones Board by Port of
Corpus Christi Authority (Grantee of the Foreign Trade Zone No. 122), in
connection with voestalpine Texas LLC’s facility at 2800 La Quinta
Terminal Road, Portland, TX 78374. We understand that this letter will be
included as part of the Foreign Trade Zone Application.
Sincerely,
Samuel L. Neal, Jr.
Nueces County Judge
