Jacksonville's economy is driven by manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and distribution sectors, with significant presence of logistics companies and warehousing facilities. The city's designation as an Foreign Trade Zone and its infrastructure supporting just-in-time delivery make it an ideal origin point for cross-border freight movements to Central America.
