Economic overview
Harbor improvements since the late 19th century have made Jacksonville a major military and civilian deep-water port . Its riverine location facilitates two U.S. Navy bases and the Port of Jacksonville , Florida's third largest seaport .[ 3]
Interstate Highways 10 and 95 intersect in Jacksonville, creating the busiest intersection in the region with 200,000 vehicles each day.[ 4] Interstate 10 ends at this intersection (the other end being in Santa Monica, California ).
Three significant freight railroads call Jacksonville home, and there are four public airports available: Jacksonville International Airport , Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport , Herlong Recreational Airport and Cecil Airport at Cecil Commerce Center .
To emphasize the city's transportation capabilities, the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce filed "Jacksonville America's Logistics Center" as a trademark on November 9, 2007. It was formally registered on August 4, 2009.[ 5] Cornerstone began promoting the city as "Jacksonville: America's Logistics Center" in 2009. Signs were added to the existing city limit markers on Interstate 95.[ 6]
Significant factors in the local economy include services such as banking , insurance , and healthcare .
As with much of Florida, tourism is also important to the Jacksonville area, particularly tourism related to golf .[ 7] [ 8]
