It is often said that in business, location is everything. Lexington’s economic success is due in large part to its prime location within the state of Kentucky, as well as the nation. Because the city sits at the crossroads of two major Interstate highways, I-64 (East-West) and I-75 (North-South), both visitors and businesses have easy access to many other U.S. cities in the East, South, and Midwest. In fact, Lexington is within a day’s drive of two-thirds of the United States’ population.
This accessibility makes the area a great spot for companies that need distribution capabilities, such as manufacturers and fulfillment corporations. Travelers can also navigate around the state with ease using the Bluegrass Parkway (located near Versailles), which takes you to the western part of Kentucky, and the Mountain Parkway (starting near Winchester), which heads toward Eastern Kentucky.
Lexington also benefits from its close proximity to surrounding communities like Georgetown, Cynthiana, Paris, Midway, Richmond and Versailles (pronounced VER-SALES). In addition, the city is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, and Charleston (WV).
