Strategically located between Memphis, Tennessee and Jackson, Mississippi, Grenada is positioned within less than a half a day drive from all major markets (see distance to major markets) in the southeastern U.S. Our central location also provides direct access to a population of over 432,000 in a 60-mile radius.
 

By road, water or air, Grenada offers you options to quickly move your products to major markets in the U.S and abroad.

By Road
Located on Interstate I-55 (only U.S. interstate to cross the Mississippi River twice) running from Chicago, Illinois to La Place, Louisiana, Grenada is connected to most of the major markets in the U.S. Grenada is located less than an hour away on I-55 from America’s Distribution Center, Memphis, Tennessee and also provides direct access to U.S. Highway 51 and State Highways 7 and 8. (See Maps)
 

By Air
The Grenada Regional Airport is located 3 miles north of the City of Grenada and can handle all types of aviation needs. The airport serves Grenada’s busiest industrial park and boasts a 7,000 foot runway capable of supporting the heaviest jet transports as well as all types of corporate jets. Grenada Regional Airport also has the only instrument landing (ILS) system equipped facility between Jackson, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee, and automatic weather observation systems.
 

By Rail
Railway service is available through the Grenada Railway, LLC, a short line connecting Jackson, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee that offers a unique opportunity to lower the cost of switching lines at major crossroads such as Memphis by aligning competing rail companies to compete for your cargo. Learn More about the Grenada Railway LLC.

By Water
Grenada is located 73 miles from the port of Rosedale on the lower Mississippi River. The 3.3-mile slack-water channel is maintained by the Corps of Engineers to a minimum of 9 feet draft and provides year-round service. Approximated five-day river transport from the Port of New Orleans allows cost-efficient transport of raw materials and products for export/import and for shipments to domestic markets.

The port has a general cargo dock equipped with a 150-ton crawler crane; a dry-bulk loading system (truck to barge) and other dry-bulk free-flowing commodities, and a dry-bulk unloading system (barge to truck) for movement of other dry-bulk materials.
