Alan Levin, owner of the Port of Tucson/Century Park Research Center, describes the intermodal and warehousing capabilities of his facility and the advantages of the Foreign Trade Zone | Tucson is on Interstate 10, one of only three coast-to-coast interstates in the country. Interstate 19 branches off I-10 in downtown Tucson and goes to Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Tucson is also on Union Pacific's main rail line.
Tucson's already-strategic geographic location will benefit from a number of projects and proposals in various stages of development. The Canamex Corridor project is a multi-state and international effort to link transportation systems from Mexico to Canada. The intermodal inland port initiative could transform the region into an inland port for goods from Mexico and Central America. There is also discussion of enhancing the deep-water port at Guaymas, Sonora -- the second largest port on Mexico's Pacific Coast -- which will make Tucson an important part of the distribution system for goods from overseas.
