    Location Key To Thriving Dickinson County Businesses

    January 6, 2020

    Dickinson County’s central location in the country’s heartland provides businesses with clear advantages. Access to raw materials and the ability to ship finished products with ease are thanks to immediate access to I-70 from most locations within the county. A short drive to I-35 opens up additional opportunities. Rail transportation and two airports within a 45-minute drive create an arena of accessibility beyond the interstate system.

    Even with ample existing transportation options, the state has a focus on creating new infrastructure as required. The combination creates an enviable and cost-effective shipping environment in and out of Kansas.
