Moving Goods, Growing Business:
Solano’s Strategic Edge in Logistics

LOGISTICS

Solano is perfectly positioned for goods movement with 6 highway corridors, including I-80, and access to ports in Benicia, Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco and West Sacramento. We’re within a 50-mile radius of Bay Area and Sacramento markets, and just a bit farther from Silicon Valley. Napa Valley in the next county, and surrounding farmlands, create a heavy demand for food and beverage transport.
