<br /> <br />City of La Porte <br />Established 1892 <br /> <br />June 12, 2006 <br /> <br />Mr. pierre Duy <br />Acting Executive Secretary <br />Foreign Trade Zones Board <br />U.S. Department of commerce <br />1401 Construction Ave., NW <br />Room 2814B <br />Washington, DC 20230 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Duy: <br /> <br />The City Council of the city of La Porte has voted to support the <br />2006 Houston FTZ expansion application being submitted to the FTZ <br />Board for several landowners, two of which are located within the <br />City. We have been briefed on the tax issues involved and we have <br />received a commitment from the landowners to execute. our tax <br />exemption agreement. <br /> <br />We believe that the overall positive economic development that will <br />occur as a result of these two new developments outweighs the <br />potential tax exemption and we encourage the Board to expedite the <br />review process. <br /> <br />The City typically will only grant one type of tax incentive per <br />location. Therefore, .'any other tax incentives sought by users or <br />developers of or within the FTZ may be. restricted and shall be <br />subject to approval on a case by case basis. <br /> <br />Yours v~ry truly, <br /> <br />CITY OF~LA PORTE <br /> <br />BY'~~~ <br /> <br />Alton' E.
