BILL NUMBER:S6471
Title of bill
An act to amend the county law, in relation to permit- ting Onondaga county to collaborate with other counties with respect to operating and maintaining a foreign trade zone
Purpose
To permit Onondaga County to collaborate with other counties with respect to operating and maintaining a foreign trade zone.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Amends subdivision 23 of section 224 of county law to desig- nate a service area to include adjacent counties of Cayuga, Oswego and Madison which are counties located adjacent to the Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
Justification
Currently, Onondaga County is authorized under subdivi- sion 23 section 24 of county law to operate a Foreign Trade Zone within Onondaga County. The Onondaga County legislature has requested that this Foreign Trade Zone Service Area be expanded to include areas adjacent to the Airport. The Foreign Trade Zone regulations define adjacency to be areas located within sixty miles or ninety minutes driving time of a United States Customs and Boarder Protection Port of Entry. Imports and exports are a major source of growth for Central New York. This expan- sion would permit further regional economic development as businesses will be incentivized to locate within this region, and current busi- nesses will be better able to expand their distribution area and increase international trade.
