Industrial parks generate commerce for the Isles

Gordon Jackson, The Brunswick News, Ga.
·6 min read

Feb. 9—The Golden Isles Development Authority purchased a 1,430-acre tract off U.S. 82 about five miles west of Interstate 95 a year ago in anticipation the site would attract interested occupants.

The main selling points to the site, called Georgia Breakbulk Logistics Park, are close access to the Port of Brunswick, I-95 and rail access on the property.
