Key Advantages of a Jacksonville Location

  • Expansion Management magazine named Jacksonville one of “America’s Five-Star Logistics Metros” four years in a row.
  • Jacksonville International Airport offers 106 non-stop daily flights to 27 U.S. cities.
  • The cost of constructing new facilities in Jacksonville is 20 percent less than the U.S. average.
  • Jacksonville was ranked in the Top 10 of Mobility magazine’s “Best Cities for Relocating Families.”
  • Northeast Florida’s total workforce exceeds 700,000 people. The median age in Jacksonville is 36.7, almost equal to the national average and significantly less than the state of Florida at 39.6.
  • Our population has been growing at a healthy pace of two percent per year, twice the national average.
  • Jacksonville has excellent public and private schools. St. Johns County has an “A” rated school district with an excellent track record of performance.
  • The Logistics Program at the University of North Florida's Coggin College of Business was ranked 13th in the nation by a 2005 survey published by Supply Chain Management Review. The Princeton Review placed the University of North Florida fifth in its 2007 edition of the “Top 10 Best Value Public Colleges.”
  • The average 2,400 square foot home in Jacksonville costs less than $270,000.
  • The tax situation in Florida is very positive. Florida has no corporate franchise tax, no state personal income tax, no taxes on inventories and no taxes on foreign income.
  • Northeast Florida is known for its outdoor recreational opportunities. We have a wonderful river for sailing, fishing and commerce, great beaches and what we call a 'world class climate'—four seasons without snow.
  • Jacksonville is the least likely place on the Atlantic or Gulf Coasts to experience a hurricane. This is due to the “re-curvature effect”. Storms heading toward Jacksonville are hit by high pressure systems from the west and are either driven northward into the Carolinas, or more often, back out to sea. No major (category 3, 4 or 5) storm has ever hit within 100 miles of Jacksonville.
