Prime Corner Location Undergoing Major Infrastructure Upgrades
This property is located at the high-traffic intersection of Route 192 and Barbourville Road, which is currently being upgraded and integrated into U.S. Highway 25 through a $16 million expansion led by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The project includes road widening, improved access points, and traffic flow enhancements aimed at reducing congestion and supporting continued growth along the corridor. Once completed, the upgraded intersection is expected to accommodate up to 37,000 vehicles per day, significantly boosting the property’s visibility and accessibility. Planned improvements will stretch from KY 229 to KY 1006, with future phases extending to U.S. 25E. These initiatives are part of broader efforts to improve regional transportation and support economic development.
London, Kentucky, located in the heart of Laurel County, sits strategically along Interstate 75, a major freight corridor connecting the Midwest to the Southeast.

The area combines affordable land, a skilled workforce and proximity to rural communities, making it an ideal location for food storage and logistics operations. With nearby distribution facilities like Walmart’s London Distribution Center and continued industrial investment, London is emerging as a vital hub for supply chain activity in the region.
