Infrastructure
Businesses throughout Columbia County benefit from an enviable network of state and interstate highways. Interstate 75 – one of the country’s most significant interstate corridors – runs diagonally through the county, connecting to markets along the Gulf Coast and as far north as Canada. Interstate 10, which extends coast to coast, runs through the middle of the county and within Florida, connects Jacksonville to the east with Tallahassee to the west. The site is served by FPL and has a Florida Gas Transmission Company 4-inch line.
