Logistics & Distribution
East Coast reach with coastal-market cost structure.
Regional distribution, cold chain, and third-party logistics. US Highway 17 and NC 24 connect Onslow County to I-40 and I-95, the Port of Morehead City, and Albert J. Ellis Airport.
Why this cluster works here
US Highway 17 and NC 24 feed the I-40 and I-95 corridors, with the Port of Morehead City serving break-bulk and project cargo.
Albert J. Ellis Airport provides commercial service and general aviation capacity for time-sensitive freight and executive travel.
Large, flat parcels with public utilities and highway frontage — engineered for truck circulation rather than retrofitted for it.
