Freight ForwardingBeing centrally located in the U.S., The Point Industrial Park's intermodal freight transport facility offers businesses a clear, strategic advantage over other industrial parks. Regional TransportationThe Point’s more than ideal site location – with river frontage and barge loading capabilities, a major railroad line running right beside it, and an interstate/highway system at its entrance – has given us the privilege to be called the “Premier Industrial Park of Ohio.” Additionally, our attractive location has given many businesses the advantage and opportunity to grow and expand their operations, allowing them to work with customers extending to all parts of the world. Waterways The “Port of South Point,” located within The Point Industrial Park, is the only commercial port along a stretch of the Ohio River from Pittsburgh all the way to the Indiana border. This port allows businesses within the park to easily ship and receive goods via barge. Railways The Point is located on a major Norfolk Southern rail line, which includes over 10 miles of rail within the industrial park. Air Transportation There are two commercial airports, along with several smaller regional airports, located within a short drive of The Point. Roadways The Point Industrial Park is located six miles from Interstate 64 and has direct access to a major four-lane highway. |
