Carthage is strategically located on US Highways 59 and 79, three hours north of Houston and just over two hours east of Dallas.
Interstate 20, a major east-west artery in the nation’s Interstate Highway System, is only a short drive north. Carthage is fortunate to be located near the proposed NAFTA trade route, Interstate 69.
The Panola County Airport is open year-round, 7 days a week, and offers a 5,001 ft runway for public use.
Our location at the center of a square between I-20, I-49, I-10, and I-45 makes transportation for your company a cake walk.
I-69 is intended to be an interstate highway traveling from the Canadian border in Michigan to the Mexican border in Texas, using a series of improvements to existing highways to complete the project.
In East Texas, the I-69 route includes portions of U.S. 59 from Texarkana to Tenaha.
The primary mission of the Carthage Improvement Corporation and the Carthage Economic Development Corporation is to maintain and expand the tax base of the City of Carthage, to create new value-added full-time jobs for the citizens of Carthage, to retain existing value-added full-time jobs, and to be instrumental in making Carthage a progressive community.
