Plantation, FL: Small Town Feel With Big Time Access
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.
