Stockton port seeks to add 450 acres of FTZ property

Stockton port seeks to add 450 acres of FTZ property The Stockton Port District has applied to the U.S. Commerce Department requesting authority to expand its foreign trade zone by more than 450 acres.
   The port authority operates more than 3,700 acres of FTZ property at seven sites in the Stockton and Tracy area. The federal government designates the properties as FTZ 231.
   The port authority is seeking to make 468 acres of industrial property within the 474-acre Opus Logistics Center in Stockton as an eighth FTZ 231 site.
   The port received authority to operate FTZ 231 in 1998 and expanded the size of property under its authority in 2006.
   The Commerce Department's Foreign-Trade Zones Board is accepting public comment on the port authority request through May 12. The FTZ board will accept rebuttals to the public comments during the subsequent 15-day period until May 27.
