Solon Road (250,000 sq. ft.), 30400 Solon Road (110,000 sq. ft.), and 
31400 Aurora Road (117,375 sq. ft.) located within the Solon Business

pending with the Board to expand FTZ 40: Dockets 19-04, 20-04, 25-04 
and 5-05.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand existing Site 
7B at the Progress Drive Business Park to include two additional 
parcels (22 acres total) located at 19963 and 20137 Progress Drive in 
the City of Strongsville. The site is owned by Spazzeo Enterprises, LLC 
(10 acres), and Atlantic Tool & Die Company (12 acres). The site will 
be used for general warehousing and distribution activities. (A pending 
application to reorganize FTZ 40 (Docket 20-2004) proposes to 
consolidate and renumber the FTZ sites, and under this plan Site 7B 
would become Site 6B (including the proposed expansion area).)
    No specific manufacturing authority is being requested at this 
time. Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ 
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
