CSX Trains Dramatically Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions By

Warehousing and Distribution
The ease of shipping through Jacksonville, combined with
new vessel services at JAXPORT, has led to significant
developments in regional warehousing operations and
distribution centers. Over the last few years, more than
10 million square feet of warehousing and distribution space has
been developed in Northeast Florida.
Much of this development has been driven by major retailers
choosing to establish a facility in Jacksonville to streamline their
supply chains, eliminate unnecessary handling of shipments and
reduce logistics costs.
The city’s strategic location allows shippers and retailers to reach
a market of 55 million consumers within an eight-hour drive, and
more than 60 percent of the U.S. population in less than 24 hours.
Distribution points receive cargo from JAXPORT’s three marine
terminals, which enjoy worldwide carrier services and are capable
of handling every type of general and project cargo. In addition,
Jacksonville features available land, established industrial parks,
Foreign Trade Zone #64, logistics services, and outstanding
highway and rail connections - a combination simply unmatched
in the Southeastern United States.
A comprehensive database of available industrial real estate
and development sites in the Jacksonville area contains more
than 1,300 industrial and commercial buildings, industrial parks
and hundreds of sites for sale or lease. Access the database at:
