Central Location

Our location is central to the entire eastern United States and within one day’s drive of 65% of the U.S. population. The Cumberland Expressway (future I-65 interstate spur), which serves the Lake Cumberland Regional Industrial Complex, is a fully-controlled, four-lane connection between two interstates, I-65 to the West and I-75 to the East.

Highway

Time-consuming distribution routes eat up profits. Russell County’s location in south central Kentucky has proven to be a major competitive asset for the manufacturers and distributors in the Lake Cumberland Regional Industrial Complex. As a producer making all-important connections with suppliers and customers, doing business from this strategic location in the southeastern United States puts your facility within a single day’s delivery of two-thirds of the country’s population.
