Metro Atlanta is home to over a dozen Fortune 500 and two dozen Fortune 1000 company headquarters. In addition, the city's central location in the Southeast makes it a perfect hub for Southeast product distribution.
The logistics infrastructure in Georgia supports all modes of transportation. With two major cross country interstates in I-95 and I-75 and four additional interstates connecting Georgia to 15 states, Atlanta is a logical distribution point for companies delivering product to their Southeast customers.
Distances from Atlanta to other Southeast cities:
- Birmingham, AL 152 miles
- Charleston, SC 325 miles
- New Orleans, LA 477 miles
- Little Rock, AK 525 miles
- Miami, FL 668 miles
- Nashville, TN 786 miles
