Retailers Expanding in the West Valley
Greater Maricopa Foreign-Trade Zone
The Greater Maricopa Foreign-Trade Zone (GMFTZ Zone #277) is Western Maricopa County’s federally recognized FTZ and is one of the fastest-growing zones in the U.S. The Zone enables manufacturers and e-commerce fulfillment centers to minimize their duty impact and maximize their Customs efficiencies. The Zone has spurred a wave of industrial development, including build-to-suit and spec building projects of over $4 billion in the West Valley since its inception. There are 15 different nationally recognized companies (Sub Zero, Red Bull, Mark Anthony Brewing, REI, Five Below and more) operating in the Zone today. The current economic impact is over $2.7 billion per year, with well over 4,000 high-paying jobs included.
