Glendale ARIZONA January 17th, 2020 Ms. Diane McCarthy Chairperson GMFTZ Inc. c/o WESTMARC 6751 N. Sunset Blvd., Suite 210 Glendale, AZ 85305 RE: Letter of Concurrence for Project Lagerhaus Dear Ms. McCarthy: The City of Glendale is supportive of the Greater Maricopa County FTZ No. 277 project. We believe that the Zone is an excellent vehicle for attracting, expanding and maintaining business opportunities within our community. Project Lagerhaus is constructing a facility within the Woolf Logistics Center, immediately adjacent and south of RRB Beverage Operations, Inc.'s facility at 1051 N. Reems Rd. in Glendale, AZ, which is situated on 67.50 acres, and Project Lagerhaus is requesting FTZ designation within FTZ No. 277. This new facility will bring new jobs and opportunities to the region. The acreage being proposed for development and Zone designation has recently been annexed into the City of Glendale. The City of Glendale is fully aware of the fact that FTZ designation for a bona fide user allows tax reclassification to Class 6, and we are comfortable with the new revenues that come from such classification. It is our desire to support FTZ designation as an opportunity for job creation and economic development activity in our city. This letter will serve as our official letter of support for Project Lagerhaus. Sincerely, ev-in R. Phelps City Manager 5850 W.

(FTZ or Zone) No. 277 project. We believe that the Zone is an excellent method for attracting, expanding and maintaining business opportunities within our community. Maricopa Community College wishes to express our support for the Usage-Driven Site Application being submitted by the Greater Maricopa FTZ No. 277 to designate Project Lagerhaus's distribution and value- added facility within the Woolf Logistics Center, immediately adjacent and south of RRB Beverage Operations, Inc.'s operation or facility at 1051 N. Reems Rd. in Glendale, AZ., as an FTZ. We believe that this new facility will have an overall positive economic impact on Maricopa County. We strive to provide area businesses with incentives that will enable them to be as competitive as possible and encourage Zone participation to qualifying Users. The increase in business investment and activity resulting from this new FTZ site will benefit Maricopa County by creating new jobs, generating new tax revenue and facilitating new growth opportunities. Although we are aware of the tax issues involved in the establishment of an FTZ site, we believe this new site will provide the region with increased economic activity, and for this reason, we concur with the Federal Exemption. Future development, new employment and increased international trade will benefit the entire Greater Maricopa area. Therefore, we fully support the Project Lagerhaus application to become a Usage-Driven Site within FTZ No. 277.
