Scott Taylor, attorney at Miller & Co., will discuss the new Alternate Site Framework (ASF) designation of Gregg County's Foreign Trade Zone, including which companies can benefit, along with the activation process. He also will be available to meet with individual companies afterward to answer any questions or discuss potential financial savings for individual companies.
The ASF is a new benefit for businesses. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently approved this modification of Gregg County's Foreign Trade Zone, the first of its kind in the country. The new designation will allow companies located within Gregg County to secure Foreign Trade Zone status for warehousing and distribution operation within approximately 30 days, faster than the usual timeframe. Manufacturing companies benefit from the streamlined procedures as well.
The seminar is from 9 AM until noon at the Paul & Betty Abbott Aviation Center of LeTourneau University at East Texas Regional Airport. For more information or to register or make an appointment, contact KEDC at 903.983.3522 or info@kilgore-edc.com by Friday, Feb. 26.
