This is a bit of a plug for my hometown but I felt it necessary. This article titled Work Wanted: Good Jobs in Logistics are Abundant in Jacksonville tells the story. To be a true logistics hub every location needs to have natural infrastructure and Jacksonville has this with JaxPort.
Then you need rail networks, highway networks (Jax joins I-10 and I-95 - two may corridors with 10 being East - West and 95 being North - South), good employment and space for warehousing. All of this has to be wrapped around a good business climate.
Jacksonville Florida has it all and more! What is the more? Jacksonville is the gateway to one of the most populous states and fastest growing states. What better place to be for logistics then to be where the people live.
It truly is a great logistics hub. Congratulations to all who have helped make it the true "Gateway to Florida".
