Only 12 miles south of downtown Atlanta, Clayton County is a primary hub for transportation and logistics. Interstate highways, rail freight, access to deep sea ports, public transportation, and the busiest airport in the world make Clayton County into a logistics powerhouse.

Two Class I railways, CSX and Norfolk Southern, offer direct rail connections to the Port of Savannah within four hours. They also transport goods efficiently throughout the United States.
