Re: Foreign Trade-Zone – The Cookson Company, 1901 S. Litchfield Road,
Goodyear, AZ 85338 - Parcel Number 500-45-009
Dear Mr. McGilvray:
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors submits this letter to express “no-
objection” to the proposed FTZ designation for The Cookson Company. We believe
that this FTZ designation will result in a positive economic impact for Maricopa
County.
The no-objection is submitted on behalf of the: Maricopa County, State Equalization,
Maricopa County Flood Control, Maricopa County Library District, and Maricopa
County Fire District Assistance.
We are aware that as an activated user of the FTZ, the designated property will be
reclassified as a Class 6 property and we are comfortable with revenues that will
come from such classification.
We support the Application for inclusion of The Cookson Company’s facility as a FTZ
site within the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone, Inc.’s General-Purpose Zone
No. 277.
Sincerely,
Denny Barney
Chairman
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors
