Seminole County Foreign Trade Zone

With Congressman Mica's assistance, Seminole County leaders were successful in establishing a Foreign Trade Zone based at Orlando Sanford International Airport with hubs throughout the county.  On August 30, 2001, the U.S. Department of Commerce approved the request for this designation.

Approved FTZ sites include:

Orlando Sanford Airport and the Airport Commerce Park
Technology Park
Port of Sanford
Northstar Business Park
Silver Lake Industrial Park
Sanford Commerce Park
Oviedo Business Park

With 95% of the potential customers for American products live outside the United States, the Seminole County Foreign Trade Zone holds the potential for economic expansion and diversification.  Florida, and Seminole County in particular, are well positioned to develop into a powerful center of foreign trade.
