Virginia's central location on the Eastern Seaboard makes it competitive as a site for these centers along with improvements to Richmond's port and the Port of Virginia in Hampton Roads.

While Hampton and Southwest Virginia are also benefiting from the trend, the Richmond region has seen the largest amount of new construction and deal announcements from distribution and logistics operations statewide in the last couple years.
