Equidistant between New York and Atlanta, the Roanoke Region is centrally located to major cities in the eastern United States. Advance Auto, Revlon/Elizabeth Arden, Orvis, and other major companies have chosen this area because of the fast and cost-efficient shipping to two-thirds of the U.S. population within a day’s truck drive.

Location and logistics are strong advantages of the Roanoke Region. The area is served by a Port of Entry and Foreign Trade Zone, which saves time and money for companies importing materials. A large UPS hubis located in the area and the region is served by major air freight and package express companies. Evidence of the region’s reputation as a logistics hub is the approximately 70 trucking lines serving the area with local, state, and interstate service.

The Roanoke Region is served by Norfolk Southern and CSX for freight. The region is located on the Heartland and Crescent Corridors of Norfolk Southern. The Heartland is a direct, high-capacity route that spans from the Port of Virginia to distribution markets in the Midwest. The Crescent spans 11 states and is one of fastest, most direct routes from the Southeast to the Northeast with convenient connections to Mexico and Los Angeles. An I-81 intermodal facility is planned for the region.

The I -81 Corridor, a critical artery connecting several critical logistics markets, is one of the most active and fastest growing locations in the Northeast and Mid - Atlantic for warehousing, repackaging and distributing consumer goods. The Corridor’s quantifiable benefit in operating costs compared to adjacent competing markets couples with its unique ability to link logistics infrastructure to major population centers via critical interstate connectors, has catalyzed the relocation and/or expansion of some of the largest and most prominent corporations and logistics companies in the world to this corridor.
