Local businesses have excellent access to highways, rail transport and general aviation services. Clinton County’s four exits on Interstate 80 also make the region attractive to industries considering relocation.
Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad Company serves Blair, Centre, and Clinton Counties along a 70-mile stretch of track. In Clinton County, the railroad follows the course of Bald Eagle Creek to Mill Hall, then to Lock Haven where it connects with the Norfolk Southern Railway Main Line, running north to Buffalo, NY. Businesses not on the line can harness the cost efficiencies of rail freight via the local intermodal freight facility.
