Connectivity

Florida is the fastest growing state and the I-4 corridor, which includes Orlando and Tampa is the fastest growing region in Florida. At 22.2 million people, Florida is now the 3rd largest state by population and that figure is expected to swell to 28 million by 2030. All this growth means there is more of a demand for goods. 

Luckily, the I-4 corridor has the largest concentration of distribution centers in the world and is home to one of the best and most convenient airports, the largest deepwater seaport in Florida, and a sophisticated interstate highway system.

Port Tampa Bay is the largest and most diversified port in Florida, with a footprint of more than 5,000 acres in its total complex and handling every kind of imaginable cargo plus robust cruise business.

Tampa International Airport is consistently ranked among the world’s top airports by outlets such as J.D. Power & Associates, Travel + Leisure Magazine and Conde Nast. TPA is currently undergoing a Master Plan in preparation to serve more than 39 million passengers by 2042, which includes building a new state-of-the-art Airside D to accommodate 16 new domestic and international gates.

Tampa and Hillsborough County are connected to the entire United States by roads and rail. Interstate systems I-4, I-75 and I-275 link the region to numerous major U.S. cities and more than 34 million consumers within an 8 hour drive.
