Schertz’s proximity to two major cities, two major airports, and the interchange of two major interstate highways is a distinct geographical advantage. Whether your business moves goods by road, air or sea, the City of Schertz is the Corridor to the Future. The city offers businesses superb options to move their finished products to national and world markets. The City is ideally situated to take advantage of the strong growth in international commerce resulting from falling trade barriers between the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the countries of Central America.

Located to the northeast of San Antonio along the I-35 corridor and adjacent to I-10, Schertz’s unique location offers business an ideal interstate and rail interface to transport goods and products to the country and world. I-35, also known as “the NAFTA Superhighway,” stretches from Laredo, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota, and the city’s business parks allow for easy accessibility to this thoroughfare. On Schertz’s southern border, I-10 presents companies with an additional option to access markets through major ports in Houston, New Orleans, or Los Angeles. The presence and easy access to two major thoroughfares within Schertz’s city limits gives businesses the flexibility to determine the best transportation options to serve their products to global markets.
