Wayne Harris, rlirector of the Elizabeth City-Pas quotank County Economic Development Commis sion, welcomed the news last week. Being in an FTZ means big savings for com panies whose manufactur ing requires a lot of imports, he explained. In an FTZ, a “fairly typical manufactur er" with 50 employees and 250 customs entries a year could save over $30,000 a year just in reduced report STOP Foreclosure STOP Lawsuits STOP Car Repossession STOP Tax Levies and Garnishments Call Allen C.

The FTZ expansion is also well-timed, Harris said, noting that Virginia has finally broken major traffic “bottlenecks” between Eliz abeth City and the port. He cited the opening of the sec ond span of Veterans Bridge and the opening of the overpass over Cedar Road. The improvements on U.S. Highway 17 give companies assurance they can locate in Pasquotank’s Commerce Park and still only have a 45-minute drive to the port, he said. Similarly, Camden County Economic Developer Char lie Bauman said the FTZ fits into a “convergence” of good new s for the local economy. It’s also another “tool in the toolbag” for Camden to re cruit manufacturers, such as in the logistics and maritime sectors, he said. Bauman added Camden also has an abundance of available in dustrial land, including at its Eco-Industrial Park, which is on U.S. 17, just south of the Virginia line. The FTZ expansion is an effort that started more than three years ago. State lawmakers and Gov. Pat Mc Crory enacted legislation in 2013 so the Port of Virginia, an out-of-state entity, could apply to add North Carolina counties to the zone. Virgin ia's attorney general also had to review whether the port had the legal authority to expand past the state line, and the U.S. Department of Commerce also spent about the last seven months re viewing the application. In an email to The Daily Advance, Port of Virginia FTZ Administrator Laura Godbolt said FTZ status helps companies of varying sizes. That means the re gion may appeal to compa nies supporting established manufacturers, she said. “Northeastern North Carolina may see success in targeting suppliers of existing North Carolina Cjvanagh CAVANAGH RINGELMAN Certified Public Accountants PC Tax Return Preparation Planning 6 Budgeting Accounting 6 Auditing Services Business Effectiveness Business Coaching ‘‘One good idea ... ...every time we talk!"

Godbolt also said some of the biggest manufactur ing sectors in the FTZ in clude petroleum refining, automobile manufactur ing, electronics and phar maceuticals. The Port of Virginia also estimates it generated $60.3 billion in annual eco nomic impact to Virginia alone, based on 2013 num bers. Godbolt said companies that want to participate in the FTZ must pay ap plication fees and a yearly administration fee that’s based on their square foot age. Companies may also face costs for “inventory control, security upgrades and FTZ consultants.” No tably, companies in an FTZ are still under Customs and Border Protection su pervision.
