Seaport, Rail and Waterways
If your business needs access to the sea without having to locate on the water, our location is in a sweet spot. We're 30 minutes from the Mississippi River and 160 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. That gives you a nice, cozy inland location that is still within three hours of five of the largest ports in the country.
