item 10 — infrastructure the town does not have, printed as not had

The foreign-trade zone, by number, from the Board's own record: Foreign-Trade Zone 125, grantee the St. Joseph County Airport Authority, reorganised under the alternative site framework by the Board's Order 1720 (2010), its service area covering St. Joseph, Elkhart, and LaPorte counties — which is to say, this township sits inside a designated foreign-trade zone's service area, its mills and warehouses eligible to the zone's machinery through the grantee, whether or not any township site has ever activated under it; activation on a named township site stands in the Board's site record, and none is asserted here. The airport's customs standing belongs to the county's field: South Bend International stands in the federal record as a U.S. Customs user-fee airport — the customs machinery of this county is a desk at that airport, thirteen miles east, and this township's own strip (IN93, in the airports leg) has no customs standing of any kind. The port is somebody else's, named as somebody else's: Indiana's Lake Michigan port at Burns Harbor serves this county's bulk trade from another county's shore, and New Carlisle has no port, river landing for trade, or customs house — printed as not had, in a section that has counted what the town does have to the last bushel and coil.
