TRANSPORTATION

The Elmore County business community is well served by Interstates 65 and 85. Alabama Highway 14 is utilized as the business corridor between both interstates. US Highway 231 serves Elmore County for commuter traffic to and from Montgomery and for freight transportation to areas north such as the Honda Assembly Plant in Lincoln, Alabama.

Elmore County’s location is ideal for businesses that want to be located in the center of the Southeastern United States. Businesses in Elmore County benefit from its close proximity to Atlanta and Birmingham markets.
