What gives Jacksonville an edge in today’s logistics landscape?

In a recent interview with @CPExecutive, JAXPORT Chief Commercial Officer Robert Peek discusses how continued investments in port infrastructure, transportation connectivity and cargo capabilities are helping position Jacksonville for long-term growth.

“As port activity grows, the ripple effects extend throughout the regional industrial market. Companies that rely on imports and exports increasingly view Jacksonville as a place where they can efficiently reach domestic and international customers while also benefiting from available land, transportation connectivity and a business-friendly environment,” Peek said.
