A Transportation Network Built For Growth
Transportation
The greater Lima region’s transportation network is one of its biggest competitive advantages. Sitting at the crossroads of I-75 and US-30, our communities are within a one-day drive of roughly 60% of the U.S. population.
Regional Highway Corridors
- I-75 is important for long-distance state and national travel, and is a major thoroughfare for local and regional mobility.
- The US 30 Region is also well situated within the national market. Located along a limited‐access freeway (US Route 30) and crossed by two interstates (I‐71 and I‐75), the Region is within easy reach (500 miles or a day’s drive) of major population centers.
- In addition to I-75 (north/south) and US 30 (east/west), Allen County is served by five major state routes: 309, 117, 81, 65, and 66.
Rail Accessibility
- Rail freight service is provided by CSX, Norfolk Southern, Indiana & Ohio-Chicago, Chicago, Ft. Wayne and Eastern (both Genesee & Wyoming subsidiaries), and R.J. Corman. Development sites with rail access are available in several parts of the county.
- Allen County is 45 miles from the CSX Northwest Ohio Intermodal facility in North Baltimore, Ohio.
Airport Accessibility
- The Allen County Regional Airport is a public-use airport located five miles southeast of the central business district of Lima. The 6000′ x 150′ fully grooved runway can accommodate a 727 or DC-9. The facility offers Aircraft Deicing and Anti-icing capabilities, 24-hour terminal lobby access, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and a large heated corporate hangar.
