ADVANTAGES
ACCESS
Two signalized intersections provide facility ingress and egress from Highway 29, Concord Parkway. Existing gates secure vehicular access at these two entry points. A third gate located on Roberta Road immediately south of the warehouse complex was previously reserved for emergency uses only. Signalized intersections serve George Liles Parkway and Union Cemetery Road on the eastern and western borders of the Property. Entrances along these roads could serve additional property usage without impacting the security and ingress/egress of the main facility.
