Leading advanced manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Anheuser-Busch, BAE Systems, GE Oil & Gas, Medtronic and Northrup Grumman, continue to find success in Jacksonville due to our infrastructure, competitive business climate and access to talent.
Our strong military presence is one of the unique assets our companies take advantage of as more than 3,000 retiring veterans choose to stay in Northeast Florida each year and join our skilled talent base.
The region’s location as the westernmost location along the East Coast and its logistics and transportation infrastructure includes rail, air, maritime and highway that allows products to be shipped anywhere in the world and offers companies same-day access to more than 94 million customers.
The Jacksonville region continues to grow its production and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and has the available land and resources to accommodate significant growth in this area.
Construction costs are 15 percent lower than the U.S. average and the cost to lease industrial space is $4.99, which is below most major metro areas and makes the Jacksonville region an affordable and efficient location for any advanced manufacturing operation.
