That
Proximity to the Port
is Definitely a Plus
BY BLAISE WILLIG
A
port without adequate
distribution channels
is just another body
of water. On the other
hand, a port linked
to a large and sophisticated supply
network can reach markets virtually
without limits.
From the Port of Baltimore, a
wide variety of distribution centers
fans out like the spokes of a wheel,
filling an integral role in the process
of moving goods in every direction
to the people who need them.
The reasons are many for the
area’s popularity among a diversity
of distribution centers, ranging
from its central location on the U.S.
East Coast to its superior rail and
highway infrastructure capabilities.
