ASF SERVICE AREA CONCURRENCE LETTER - MARICOPA COUNTY FOR BOARD SIGNATURE.DOCX

October 6, 2021
William J. Jabjiniak, 
FTZ-221 Administrator
City of Mesa - Office of Economic Development
20. E. Main St., Suite 200
Mesa, AZ 85201
Dear Mr. Jabjiniak:
The purpose of this letter is to document the support of this county for a reorganization of Foreign 
Trade Zone 221 (FTZ-221) within the Alternative Site Framework (ASF). We understand that this 
means that the grantee, the City of Mesa, will be able to apply to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
for authority to serve sites located within this county based on businesses’ trade-related needs.  
The zone will be made available on a uniform basis to companies within this county, in a manner 
consistent with the legal requirement that each FTZ be operated as a public utility. It should also 
be noted that FTZ-75 and FTZ-277 have reorganized under the ASF with Maricopa County 
included in their service area.  
Regarding state or local taxes for which collections may be affected by FTZ designation of sites, 
this letter is not intended to provide a position on state or local tax issues for any site within this 
jurisdiction.  At the time that any specific site is proposed for FTZ designation, parties potentially 
affected by the site’s proposed designation (such as a local school board) will need to provide their 
own correspondence indicating their views on the impact on tax collections related to the proposed 
designation.
Sincerely,
Chairman Jack Sellers
Board of Supervisors
Maricopa County
