Jacksonville an d NORTHEAST FLORIDA
America’s Logistics Center
Unique logistics assets make Northeast Florida ripe for business expansion
and growth.
Amazon.com made a splash in 2017 when it opened
two fulfillment centers in Jacksonville that will
employ 5,000 people.
But the online retail giant was only the latest in a long
line of businesses that found it advantageous to locate
distribution facilities in “America’s Logistics Center.”
That moniker aptly highlights the region’s unique
logistics assets.
“We’re the nexus of multiple transportation nodes
that make logistics simpler and less costly,” says
Michael Breen, senior director of the international
department at JAXUSA Partnership.”
