PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority (BARTA) services the Reading area including along Route 61 with a stop within walking distance of the property.

Limited Labor Competition

This location’s intelligence and foot traffic analysis studying travel patterns of the workforce within the area over the past 12 months further validates that Reading houses a strong warehousing labor pool. This analysis confirmed that much of the labor that services the industrial operations along I-78, Route 61, and Route 100 commute from in and around Reading, PA.

Route 61 Logistics Center's proximity to the dense Reading labor force offers the
​most available blue collar workers in the region.

LESS COMPETITION FOR EMPLOYERS

​To further benefit future employers along Route 61, the immediate area benefits from having less industrial related employment opportunities nearby resulting in less competition for available labor.
