Most plant managers in the region cite the concentrated transportation grid that serves Aiken and Edgefield Counties as a major reason for locating here.
Infrastructure

Highways

Midway along the 250-mile South Carolina/Georgia border, our community is blessed with excellent transportation access to the Interstate highway system via I-20, which connects the Aiken-Augusta MSA to Atlanta, GA, Birmingham, AL, and Dallas, Texas. In addition, I-20 provides easy access to other nearby Interstates. I-26 and I-77, which offer connection to Charlotte, NC, Charleston, SC and Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, are less than an hour drive. The Palmetto Parkway (I-520) improves the connection between US 1 and I- 20.
To the west I-20 connects with I-85 and I 75 at Atlanta, which opens up the entire Midwest to commerce. I-95, the most important transportation artery on the Atlantic Coast, is within a 90-minute drive.
