Sanford Holshouser Economic Development Consulting, LLC, discusses the Jefferson County advantage.
In West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle, Jefferson County positions your operation geographically as well as logistically to capitalize on all the vital assets of the Mid-Atlantic Corridor, including:
A location in the sweet spot of the Mid-Atlantic Corridor, just an hour’s drive from D.C.:
- Puts major Eastern markets within easy reach: New York City and Cleveland approximately 5 hours away; Charlotte in less than 4.5 hours; Pittsburgh and Philadelphia inside 3.5 hours; and Baltimore in less than 1.5 hours.
- Sets the stage for greater global opportunity and performance supported by the resources and assets of D.C., Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland.
Deliver and connect with velocity and agility, selecting from routes including:
- Highway: Jefferson County allows rapid uncongested highway delivery with the intersection of I-68 and I-79 inside the County and I-81 just a few miles away, along with the options of a half dozen state and U.S. routes.
- Rail: Class I service by Norfolk Southern and CSX Rail assure comprehensive reach to the entire Eastern U.S., from the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi River.
- Global Port: Just 45 minutes away, the Virginia Inland Port, an intermodal container transfer facility, offers key rail links to Washington D.C., New York City and Baltimore as well as to Norfolk and the Port of Virginia, a United States Customs-designated Port of Entry.
- Air: International and national air connections are easily accessed, at Dulles International Airport just 50 minutes away; Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport less than 1.5 hours away; and Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport also less than 1.5 hours away. Regional connections include Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport, just 12 miles from Jefferson County and Hagerstown Regional Airport just 45 minutes away.
From Amtrak to the Appalachian Trail, Jefferson County connects you and your team to a more effective way of working and a more satisfying and meaningful way of life. Take advantage of Amtrak’s Capitol Limited line for an easy commute to Northern Virginia or D.C; take time out to reflect and recharge on the Appalachian Trail—the Trail’s midpoint in Jefferson County is one of the most popular destinations on the iconic 2,000-mile route.
