Pemiscot County Port, situated at mile 849 on the Lower Mississippi River between St. Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee, is a critical intermodal transportation hub in the Midwest. The port's strategic location connects both north-south and east-west interstate highway systems, allowing efficient access to highways such as I-55 and I-155. With its slack-water, ice-free harbor and robust infrastructure, the port ensures year-round operations crucial for barge traffic and cargo handling. The facilities include a public general cargo dock, rail connections via a five-mile spur to the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad, and close proximity to multiple airports for added transportation flexibility. Pemiscot County Port stands out as a designated Enterprise Zone, offering tenants local property tax abatements and state income tax credits. This environment fosters economic growth and enhances regional significance for industries in agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics. The port's proximity to major industrial markets—reaching 43% of the US population within a two-day drive—underscores its importance as a gateway for bulk goods, commodities, and manufactured products throughout the central United States.
