Transportation

Make your move. Take the lead.

Highway, air, port and rail—Washington County promises multi-directional, multimodal speed to market.

In a rapidly moving Mississippi River location, your operation can reach faster in every direction, with strategic routes that take your goods across the nation and around the globe. Multimodal options include:

Highway: North, south, east, best. Washington County puts your shipping on a roll with pan-directional reach, plus 4-lane speed and convenience. Local access to U.S. Highway 82 and U.S. Highway 61 also provides fast, four-lane access to east-west I-20 just 80 miles away and north-south I-55 just 74 miles away.

Greenville Mid-Delta Airport: In the lead, on the fly. A former Air Force base, the Greenville Mid-Delta Airport is flight-ready 365 days a year, with a control tower manned seven days a week, ILS, two runways (7,000 ft. and 8,000 ft.) and commercial service by Contour Air, providing direct flights to Nashville and Dallas. Contour Air has an inter-airline agreement with American Airlines, to make connecting flights simple and convenient.

Port of Greenville: Go faster, flow faster. Located on Mile 537 of the Mississippi River, this well-equipped slackwater port keeps goods on the move and companies in the lead with multimodal highway and rail connections, and the high-performance services of a 60-ton bridge crane capable of spanning four barges; two 30-ton hooks and a 25-cubic yard bucket. Storage is superb thanks to a 22,000-ft. climate-controlled warehouse; several acres of concrete flat storage are also available. Mississippi’s largest port by tonnage is ready to provide large-scale performance for your shipping needs.

Columbus & Greenville Railway: Key asset for commodities shipment. First opened in 1878, this hard-working and historic shortline was purchased and revitalized in 2008 by Genesee & Wyoming, Inc., an experienced operator of more than 100 shortline and regional rail lines on three different continents. Today, Columbus & Greenville offers Class III service to Greenwood where the line interchanges with Canadian National Rail (CN), extending Class I service south to New Orleans and north all the way to Canada, where the line spans the continent, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.
