Richmond International Airport (RIC)
RIC offers businesses in Henrico and beyond fast, convenient access to domestic and international markets. With modern cargo facilities and extensive passenger services, RIC supports efficient shipping and easy business and leisure travel. Its strategic location and connectivity make it a key asset for companies looking to expand their reach and streamline operations.
Amtrak Passenger Rail
Henrico is home to the busiest Amtrak station in the South—Richmond Staples Mill Road. With multiple daily routes connecting to major cities like Washington, D.C., New York, and Miami, the station offers reliable, high-speed passenger rail service for both business and leisure travelers. Its central location enhances regional mobility and provides companies with a convenient, car-free option for moving people across the East Coast and beyond.
Extensive Road Network
Henrico sits at the crossroads of Interstates 64, 95, and 295, offering direct, high-capacity routes ideal for freight movement and distribution. Companies can reach 55% of the U.S. population and many of the nation’s major manufacturing hubs within one day’s drive—making it a strategic choice for logistics and supply chain operations. Beyond the interstates, Henrico maintains its own extensive network of local roads—one of only a few Virginia localities to do so—ensuring well-managed infrastructure that keeps goods and people moving efficiently every day.
Freight Rail Access
Henrico offers strong freight rail connectivity through two Class I railroads—CSX and Norfolk Southern—providing direct links to major domestic markets and ports along the East Coast. These national carriers are complemented by the Buckingham Branch short-line connector, which enhances local access and flexibility for businesses moving goods in and out of the region. Together, this rail infrastructure supports efficient, multimodal logistics and positions Henrico as a valuable hub for distribution and industrial operations.
Port of Virginia
The Port of Virginia is one of the East Coast’s largest and most efficient deepwater ports, offering world-class facilities and seamless access to global shipping routes. Located just minutes from Henrico, the Richmond Marine Terminal provides additional intermodal capacity, connecting maritime, rail, and truck transportation to support diverse industries. Together, they offer businesses in Henrico unmatched opportunities for importing, exporting, and distribution across domestic and international markets.
“Another reason why we like Henrico so much is–it’s just a great location. It’s centrally located in Virginia. There’s easy access off 95 and an airport that has many flights and is easy to get in and out of. The infrastructure in the area is great, and overall it’s just a great place to be.”
