Location
easy access to the world

Whether your markets are located primarily in the Southeast, along the East Coast or around the world, Lee County's central location on the Atlantic coast and easy access to transportation networks makes it an ideal location for any business.
   Closer to home, you'll be part of the dynamic Research Triangle Region, the world-renowned home to about 2.1 million people and cutting-edge companies specializing in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and advanced applications of information technology — not to mention some of the world's great universities.

:: Worldwide Access
    Washington, gateway to Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern markets, is just 266 miles from Sanford. While Atlanta, business hub of the South, is barely more than 300 miles away.
   Lee County also offers access to rail lines to reach markets inland and — for those looking across the sea — to local airports and seaports in Morehead City, Wilmington and Norfolk.
   Need air service? RALEIGH EXEC: The Raleigh Executive Jetport @ Sanford-Lee County, with its 6,500-foot runway, serves local business — along with Raleigh-Durham International, just an hour away.

:: Wide-Open Highways
    Major industrial sites include the Lee County Industrial Park, with a new section bordering U.S. 1 and providing quick access to Raleigh and Durham. On the other side of the county is SouthPark, a certified industrial site with immediate access to N.C. 87 and Fayetteville. And when the U.S. 421 Bypass is completed, both industrial parks will have even easier access to regional markets.
   Other buildings and sites are located in and around Sanford, providing flexibility to meet any business need.
