of industrial facilities and industrial parks within the port district and to endeavor to increase the volume of
commerce, and to promote the establishment of a foreign trade zone within the port districts;” and

WHEREAS, Winland Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) desires to expand its production lines at its pasta making
