Location
By air, by road, by rail and by water, Georgia’s ideal location helps move your business. The state is at the doorstep of the international marketplace; its location provides you with unparalleled access to the world.
Your business will stay connected to the world through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which hold the distinction of being the world’s busiest commuter airport. International flights depart daily from Georgia’s capital to 45 cities in 30 countries, including non-stop service to the world’s major business capitals. As the state’s economic development prowess flourishes, so do its airports. Hartsfield-Jackson plans to spend an impressive $5.4 billion towards its 10-year development program to maintain its foothold as a global air hub. Georgia boasts 110 other public airports, offering you flights to business centers throughout the country.
On the ground, Georgia's 1,244 miles of interstate highways link you to neighboring states and beyond. The state is served by a total of four major interstate highways, ranking Georgia 10th in the nation for such superhighways. In addition, two of the nation's seven most important north-south transcontinental interstate highways pass through Georgia. Nearly 5,000 miles of railroad across the state give you business transportation alternatives and the flexibility to move your goods efficiently and cost effectively.
Georgia’s deepwater ports empower your business to stay ahead of the competition by moving cargo faster. Orchestrated by the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), the state continues to invest in the development of leading-edge technology and marketing and operational strategies to make this happen. Since 1945, Georgia’s ports in Bainbridge, Brunswick, Columbus and Savannah have served as magnets for international trade and investment.
