Overview & Accomplishments
On June 1, 2000
the Pease Development Authority (PDA) celebrated its 10 year
anniversary. Many landmark changes have occurred at the Tradeport
since the New Hampshire State Legislature empowered the PDA to develop
the former air force base. The United States Department of Defense
continually cites Pease as the "model" for successful base
closure and reuse. Envisioned to be the economic engine of the Greater
Seacoast area, the Pease International Tradeport & Pease
International Airport continues to evolve into a world class office,
research and development industrial / aviation park.
In July 2001 the Governor
of New Hampshire signed House Bill 543, which assigned the Port of New
Hampshire unto the Pease Development Authority Division of Ports and
Harbors. Under the Pease Development Authority the Port will
continue as a working port to serve the need of New Hampshire
companies.
Accomplishments to date include:

Pease International Tradeport
In excess of 3,800,000 square feet of new, or

Foreign Trade Zone Status:
The Pease International Tradeport has been
designated a Foreign-Trade Zone by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Companies who utilize the Foreign Trade Zone can defer, reduce or
eliminate the customs duties typically paid at the time product is
received into the U.S. market. Located two miles from the Port of New
Hampshire, with immediate access to Interstate 95 and the Spaulding
Turnpike, and combined with an international airport offering
"just-in-time" cargo facilities and U.S. Customs on-site,
the Pease International Tradeport location provides access to an
excellent transportation system, crucial to import/export activities.
