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.”
It starts with JAXPORT, the international seaport with
three cargo terminals and an intermodal rail terminal.
Three major railways — CSX, Norfolk Southern and
Florida East Coast — use Jacksonville as a rail hub.
The region also offers connections to three interstate
highways: I-95, I-10 and I-75, enabling goods to reach more
than 61 million consumers within an eight-hour drive.
Jacksonville International Airport is one of the most
modern airports in the world after $300 million in
improvements.
