Why would anyone want to buy real estate in Joplin, Missouri?

REASON #4

Could it be accessability?

Joplin is located on one of the major Mid-American east-west interstates (I-44) at what will soon be the crossroads of another major Mid-American north-south yet unnumbered insterstate (now US71-249) giving unencumbered access to all the major markets in the United States.

Already one of the biggest players in the trucking industry, the area is preparing for more expansion. With so many truck drivers transiting to this area, along with the local drivers, the word of values in the Joplin, Missouri real estate market is rapidly spreading nationwide.

It was announced on July 6, 2006, that the new carrier at the Joplin airport (Mesa Airlines) will be starting five daily roundtrips to Kansas City and two daily roundtrips to Dallas/Fort Worth beginning October 1st. A new $20 million terminal is being built for the anticipated growth in air travel. The airport can now handle the largest of the jets, as evidenced by the recent landing and takeoff of Air Force One when President Bush spoke at MSSU.

Now if we could only get Amtrak to extend on westward from Springfield we would have a full plate. Admittedly, we will never have water traffic. No ones perfect!
