Aviation

Cecil Field  consists of two sets of parallel runways.  The two North/South runways consist of one runway which is 12,500 feet and another which is 8,000 feet.  The two east/west runways are each 8,000 feet in length.  Additional airport facilities include 537,000 square yards of apron, eight hangars and more than 150,000 square feet of office space.  With easy access to air and seaports, many interstates and a rail system, Cecil Field is perfectly suited for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations and a variety of aviation-related industrial and commercial development.  Cecil Field is one of four airports in Jacksonville operated by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority.  For more information on Cecil Field, click here.

Deep Water Port

As the premier Florida port for international trade and cargo transportation, the Jacksonville Port Authority owns and operates three marine terminals on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida.  These seaport terminals include the Blount Island Marine Terminal, the Tallyrand Marine Terminal and the Dames Point Marine Terminal.  For more information on the Jacksonville Port Authority visit www.jaxport.com.

Roadways

There is a regional roadway network serving Cecil Commerce Center, which is adjacent to Interstate 10. Interstate 295, which is 7 miles east of Cecil, provides access to Interstate 95 that provides links to all major areas along the eastern coast of the United States.  Interstate 295 also connects with State Road 9A providing quick access to Jacksonville's Blount Island Marine Terminal. The site is also 50 miles to the west of Interstate 75 via Interstate 10.

A new Interstate 10 interchange at Branan Field Chaffee Expressway has been approved and funded by the Florida Department of Transportation. Completion is expected in 2009 and can be expedited to meet needs of fast track projects. Click here to visit the official project website.

Arterial highways immediately adjacent to the property provide direct access to these regional routes from Cecil Commerce Center.  Normandy Boulevard, a four-lane arterial State Road bisecting Cecil Commerce Center, provides a direct link to Interstate 10 via Chaffee Road and US Highway 301.  103rd Street extends to the east and provides arterial access to Interstate 95. 

Rail

The region is well served by a well-developed railway system, which includes CSX, Florida East Coast and the Norfolk and Southern Railway Company.  Cecil Commerce Center has access to the railway via CSX trackage just north of I-10 giving tenants at the Center three commercial trade railways. There is a rail bed which extends into the northern portion of Cecil Commerce Center which may be reactivated.

Cecil Commerce Center is less than 20 miles via limited access freeway to either JAXPORT's two container terminals. On terminal rail or local short haul drayage service to site assures efficient handling of incoming/outgoing product. Cecil Commerce Center is also less than five miles from CSX's Baldwin classification yard assuring excellent local service.
