An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Culpeper County Chamber of Commerce, Inc., grantee
of Foreign-Trade Zone 185, requesting authority to expand its zone in
Culpeper County, Virginia, within the Front Royal Customs port of
entry. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the
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
April 26, 1996.
FTZ 185 was approved on May 22, 1992 (Board Order 578, 57 FR 23385,

purpose zone to include an additional site at the Culpeper County
Industrial Airpark (104 acres) located adjacent to the Culpeper County

miles north of the town limits of the Town of Culpeper. The Airpark is
owned and operated by the County as an economic development project,
with certain parcels having been sold to individual companies.
No specific manufacturing requests are being made at this time.
Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
