The Pinal County Board of Supervisors and the Town of Queen Creek have both approved a Development and Intergovernmental Agreement for a new $2.8B industrial project planned in Queen Creek in their March 16th meetings. Both also approved a resolution in support of a Foreign Trade Zone application by ES America LLC that is related to the same project.
The measures concern a site consisting of 650 acres of Arizona State Trust Land at Ironwood Drive and Germann Road in Queen Creek where ES America plans to build an approximately 1MSF manufacturing facility. Once operational, the plant will provide an estimated 2,800 jobs in the area. While there is often a publicly available project code name for developments in the early stages of agreement, representatives from both Pinal County and Queen Creek cited confidentiality and economic development considerations and declined to provide any identifying details. Officials also declined to comment on any details beyond those contained within the publicly available development/IGA agreement draft and FTZ support resolution.
ES America was incorporated in Delaware on January 10th, according to the Delaware Department of State: Division of Corporations. The Arizona Corporation Commission identifies electronics giant LG Energy Solution as the sole member in the LLC.
