An industrial corridor houses different companies; therefore, it must meet specific characteristics that contribute to the growth and proper operation of these, and one of them is its location.
The corridors or industrial parks1 are spaces that can enhance the companies’ productivity located there due to the resources they offer, logistical advantages, and security. Factors that give them the opportunity to focus on their administrative and technological improvements and expansion objectives.The company’s location is another benefit they offer, and it is key to their reputation as well as to achieve some of the other advantages already mentioned.
Elements that determine an industrial corridor’s location
Strategic location
Typically, the industrial sector seeks to operate near a major communication route, such as a major highway that easily connects one state to another, near a seaport or airport, or even close to a railroad.
Land extension
It is common for industrial companies to be located on the outskirts of large cities because those offer ample land on which to establish themselves. In addition, they are places where it is still possible to take advantage of the city’s infrastructure, such as access to electricity, drainage services, public lighting, transportation, paving, etc.
All this while being careful not to negatively impact the ecosystems and communities around the area where the industrial corridor is located.
Human factor
One aspect that is highly sought after by the industrial sector is the presence of cities or settlements in the vicinity because, for the companies, this means the possibility of having a potential labor force, and for the communities, it can mean access to important employment opportunities.
Also, both parties can contribute to the areas’ development and thus mutually benefit from each other.
Educational factor
This point goes hand in hand with the previous one, and the proximity to educational centers is also sought. The company’s location can inspire students and graduates to obtain a job there, which translates as a source of qualified personnel.
The fact that industrial parks are located in the vicinity of settlements and educational centers makes them hubs of progress for the communities near which they are established.
Other advantages
As we can see, a good company location attracts other businesses’ attention and produces efficiency in time, distribution, transportation, costs, logistics, labor, and management; all of which are achieved by the proper placement of corridors and industrial parks.
Among the benefits that go along with the optimal place, there are also places for loading, unloading, storage, common areas, and designated spaces for doing business, parking lots, and permanent surveillance.
