Great Location
Great Transportation Connections

Grand Island is centrally located between Niagara Falls and Buffalo and is connected to a large, vibrant international trade region. It is a busy border crossing point to Ontario, Canada.

Grand Island is within 15 miles of two international airports in Niagara Falls and Buffalo.

Interstate 190 runs through the center of the Island and carries freight and passengers from the US to Canada. A business located anywhere on the island is within minutes of six I-190 exits. These highways are well maintained and clear all winter.

Grand Island is in the center of a large retail and wholesale market shed.

55% of the U.S. population and 62% of the Canadian population reside within 500 miles of Grand Island. This market shed includes many major metropolitan areas, such as Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York City, and Boston. (WNYRIN)
