Map Your Access: The Logistics Corridors
Delaware’s industrial parks are strategically aligned along the region’s primary transportation arteries. The U.S. 23, U.S. 42, and I-71 corridors, bolstered by the proximity of I-70 and I-90, serve as powerful economic engines.
These routes provide high-speed access to the Columbus metro, the Intel development, and major intermodal facilities.
