Logistics Rates High Among Site Location Factors

摘要

There are a number of criterion that need to be taken into consideration when a company contemplates an expansion or relocation project. Labor force is important, as is state and local taxes and real estate costs. But as important as any criterion is transportation. How easy will it be to ship raw materials into your production plant and ship the final product out? Is there easy access to interstates and other limited-access highways? What about air, rail and water transportation? So, as a company ponders one of the most important decisions it can make - constructing a new production facility - the logistics environment, both statewide and locally, is critical.
