Global TransPark

The North Carolina Global TransPark (GTP) is located 30 minutes south of Greenville at the Eastern Regional Jetport (Stallings Field) in Kinston. The 2400 acre site is a combination of an air cargo airport as well as a modern transportation, manufacturing, and distribution complex. The runway, at 11,500 feet, is the longest civilian runway in the state.

The GTP’s unique facilities can provide industries with direct access to multimodal transportation alternatives. Intermodal capabilities will enable companies to use all of those alternatives for the most efficient and reliable transportation. The TransPark alsos provide an on-site education and training facility to prepare the workforce necessary for the industries and businesses locating in the area.

In May of 1996, the Global TransPark was designated as Foreign Trade Zone 214. The designation means companies can export and import products through the TransPark without many of the usual customs restrictions and tariffs.
