Introduction

The City of Plantation is located in the geographic center of Broward County and southeast Florida. Plantation residents and businesses have direct access to the interstate highway system, I-595, as well as Florida’s Turnpike, both providing ready access to Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties.  Plantation is only 15 minutes from Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, I-95, and Port Everglades.

If you are considering relocating your business to southeast Florida, please consider Plantation first.  Plantation abuts Interstate I-595, the only east/west expressway in Broward County, currently undergoing billion-dollar reconstruction to improve access to Plantation.  At the same time, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has added a second major runway, doubling the airport’s capacity to accommodate domestic and international travel.
