MCDC is the operator on behalf of the City of Eagle Pass for the U.S. Department of Commerce designated Foreign Trade Zone. The Eagle Pass Industrial Park benefits from several federal and state designations and is positioning itself to benefit from these affiliations. The first is the Foreign Trade Zone No. 96 which is a designation from the United States Department of Commerce, Foreign-Trade Zone Board. MCDC will be focusing on activating this designation as the operator for the City of Eagle Pass who is actually the grantee of the zone designation.
