Buy Lease or Move Right In -  Unlike many inland ports, Jackson County Maritime & Industrial Centre encourages private ownership, if that best matches your needs.  The entire park has been divided into generous lots.  A "level 1" environmental site assessment and an archeological study have been completed.  A geological report is available. We enjoy Foreign Trade Zone Status.

If you prefer to lease, lease with option to purchase, or purchase, describe your needs and we'll talk about a custom-built facility.
