Highways, railroads, the world’s busiest passenger airport and the U.S.’s fourth busiest seaport are all working “positively together” in Georgia, the state’s governor said Wednesday at the annual Georgia Logistics Summit in Atlanta.

“More and more of the world is discovering that Georgia is a good place to do business,” Gov. Nathan Deal said.

More than 2,200 people attended the two-day conference about Georgia’s logistics environment, said Chris Carr, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development.

The state is home to more than 12,000 logistics providers, and 80 percent of the U.S. market can be reached from Georgia within two hours – or two days by road, Deal said. The state also has growing warehousing opportunities.

“We’re making sure we’re making the right investments in freight,” said Toby Carr, director of planning for the Georgia Department of Transportation. He said the government wants to continue to develop the state as a logistics hub.
