...WEST FLORIDA’S CONNECTED LOCATION
Straddling I-75 and I-4, Clearly Zephyrhills is the connected West
Florida location. A Zephyrhills address puts Tampa Bay, Lakeland
and Orlando locations easily within reach. CSX provides rail access
to the Eastern United States. Port of Tampa access opens up the
World. Tampa International and Orlando International Airports are
each a short hop away--or taxi your jet right to your company door at
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport.
With over 1,000 acres of greenfield sites, Clearly Zephyrhills can
accommodate projects of immense size and scope, including
manufacturing, aviation, or distribution. But for smaller needs―a
hangar, small office or industrial building―
Zephyrhills is also the smart choice.
