Re: Foreign Trade Zone Application
Dear Mr. McGilvray,
Please accept this letter of support for the Dallas/Fort Worth Foreign Trade Zone No. 168
application to establish a Foreign Trade Zone facility located at 611 S. Royal Lane, Coppell,
Texas 75019. The City of Coppell is very active in promoting economic development and
business attraction for the City. This facility will bring new business to our city. We are always
willing to support businesses in ways that will help create more jobs and aid in their continued
success.
The establishment of a Foreign Trade Zone and the associated economic benefits that it
provides to companies, especially on an international trading basis, is consistent with the City's
economic development objectives.
We ask for the Foreign Trade Zone Board to give this application a favorable decision at the
soonest possible date. If the City can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call
upon us.
Sincerely,
z vlA� K
Bob Mahalik
