An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board), by the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority,
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 40, requesting authority to expand its
zone in the Cleveland, Ohio, area, within the Cleveland Customs port of

Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was formally filed on
October 17, 2003.

46886, 10/11/78) and expanded in June 1982 (Board Order 194, 47 FR

International Airport complex and the adjacent Snow Road Industrial
Park, Brook Park; Site 4 (450 acres)--Burke Lakefront Airport, 1501
North Marginal Road, Cleveland; Site 5 (298 acres)--Emerald Valley

Harbour Point Business Park in Vermilion, Ohio (Docket 33-2003) and a
site at the Brook Park Road Industrial Park in Brook Park, Ohio (Docket
44-2003).
The applicant is now requesting authority to expand existing Site 3
by adding an additional 172 acres within the Cleveland Business Park,
Rocky River Drive (SR 237), Cleveland (Cuyahoga County). The site is
immediately adjacent to the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and
is being developed as an industrial park. The property was acquired by
the City of Cleveland and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport as
part of a major airport expansion project and was later sold for
business development purposes. The site is presently owned by Cleveland
Business Park, Ltd., and it will provide public warehousing and
distribution services to area businesses. No specific manufacturing
requests are being made at this time. Such requests would be made to
the Board on a case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and
report to the Board.
