Strategic Location Advantage


Valdosta's strategic location could easily be considered the community's number one asset for modern day industrial development and recruitment. Sitting at the crossroads of I-75 and I-10, logistics has become a mainstay and a major industry in this region. Valdosta sits directly between Atlanta, GA and Orlando, FL splitting over 35 million Americans just in the states of Florida and Georgia alone. From Valdosta, companies enjoy one day truck service to all of Florida and significant distances up the eastern seaboard and out west via I-10 and U.S. 84. Because of the logistics advantage, Valdosta-Lowndes County is the home of several high profile distribution centers including: Lowes Regional Distribution Center (1.5 Million square feet), Home Depot Regional Distribution Center (656,000 square feet), Dillards Distribution Center (750,000 square feet), Fed Ex Distribution (150,000 square feet), IJ Foods (100,000 square feet), Smith Drug Company (108,000 square feet), Budweiser (65,000 square feet), and several others.
