Transportation & Infrastructure

What would it mean for your business to have global markets within immediate reach? Diversification of services? Greater innovation? More streams of revenue?

Georgia’s world-class transportation infrastructure comprises rail, ports and air, ensuring products and supplies move effortlessly to markets across the globe and providing companies an enviable logistical edge.

Just down the highway from North Fulton sits Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the U.S. This award-winning travel and freight hub provides nonstop service to more than 160 domestic and 80 international destinations, moving 560,000+ tons of cargo annually while offering 1.8 million square feet of on-site warehouse space.

For maritime commerce, regional businesses leverage direct access to two deepwater ports of call: the Port of Brunswick and the Port of Savannah. As the fastest-growing port in the country and the third-busiest container gateway in the U.S., Savannah houses the largest single-terminal container facility in the Western Hemisphere.

Bridging these air and sea hubs is an extensive statewide rail network anchored by CSX and Norfolk Southern, offering 4,600+ miles of track.

North Fulton combines major transit corridors with forward-thinking local mobility. Alpharetta, Roswell, and Sandy Springs are served by MARTA bus routes and rail service, providing seamless intra-city travel alongside direct access to downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport via the North Springs MARTA Station.

Complementing rail and bus lines, expansive trail networks span the region, blending traditional infrastructure with thoughtful active living design. In Alpharetta, the Alpha Loop and Big Creek Greenway feature walkable paths and bike routes that link residents to offices, dining, recreation, and entertainment. The city of Sandy Springs is developing the Springway Trail Network, a scenic, master-planned 31.4-mile system designed to connect local parks and greenspace to where people live, work, and gather. Roswell and Milton further expand mobility options by permitting Personal Transportation Vehicles (e.g. golf carts) on designated public roadways.

If you’re like most North Fulton businesses, you need reliable water, electric, and broadband access for your daily operations. Here, you’ll find robust infrastructure and several options when it comes to providers.

Electric
Georgia Power provides reliable energy for 2.8 million customers across the state and is a top ranked provider by Site Selectors in the Southern Atlantic based on corporate end-user project activity. Member-owned utilities like Greystone Power, Sawnee EMC, and Cobb EMC also offer competitive rates. When it comes to energy, Georgia offers some of the lowest rates in the U.S.

Broadband
Companies like AT&T (with its corporate office in Alpharetta), Comcast, and Charter are major providers of fiber optic internet service in North Fulton County. In fact, broadband access here is 2.9% higher than the national average.

Water & Sewer
Our region’s population of close to 300,000 receive access to millions of gallons of clean drinking water from Fulton County Department of Public Works. The City of Roswell and the City of Sandy Springs provide further water management services for residents and businesses.
