EXPLORE THE EXIT

Interstate 22 began development in the mid-1980s.

Opening in 2016, it has created a route that commuters and carriers alike travel time and again.

From Birmingham, AL to Jasper, AL - there is really nothing on this stretch of road.

This Interstate cuts through about 140-160 miles of travelers/hospitality desert. There is little relief as you travel along, which is what Heritage Landing is aiming to provide here.

I-22 currently sees approximately 30,000 travelers. It has the capacity and could comfortably handle even 70,000 commuters/drivers.

While Heritage Landing is hoping to increase the usage of the interstate overall, the lower number of travelers can also be considered a benefit. As other interstates in the area, such as the I-65, I-20 or the I-59, see massive amounts of traffic, they are often overloaded and add to the overall time of your commute, as you can end up dealing with traffic and accident delays alike.

A resourceful area with endless possibilities.

The main goal of our developers is to provide an area for our neighbors, our visitors and the passersby to have a moment to refresh and revitalize before continuing on their travels. We know your time is valuable. We aim to provide you a space where any and all items you need to make the most of it are readily available to you.

Exit 78 will be a strategic oasis for travelers of the interstate. If you’re a passerby or a hauler who’s departing from the Birmingham area, this will be your place to prepare for your drive and gather any items you may need, while taking in the prepossessing sights around. You’ll be fully prepared for the journey that awaits you. Vice versa, if you’re traveling from the Memphis area towards Birmingham, Exit 78 is your place to rejuvenate after a long drive. We know that transportation is currently a thriving industry with continuous growth – one that we truly value. Most everything we use or purchase day to day is shipped by ground. We want to show our transporters the respect they deserve for all the hours they diligently commit to their work. At Heritage Landing, we are extremely appreciative of all of their efforts and strive to requite their time with a refuge from the road.

A place without the hustle and bustle or high prices that accompany the cities.

This space is an enjoyably quiet, peaceful area, allowing you to rest in tranquility while only being within a quick drive of your destination in Birmingham.

Visitors to Birmingham can watch a film at the historic Alabama Theatre, see the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, which is located in Carver Theatre, or enjoy the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The largest cast-iron statue in the world, a statue of the Roman god Vulcan at his forge, is here. Families will love Splash Adventure, a water and theme park.

Memphis is famous for Beale Street, which illustrates the tremendous impact Memphis has had on blues music in America. Be sure to sample some Memphis-style barbecue while you’re here, as it’s considered one of the four main styles in the country. And of course, Elvis Presley enthusiasts will want to visit Graceland.

The area this stretch of interstate is laid out on has abundant space and potential assets.

In addition to its beauty and breathtaking views, there is a bounteous source of water, large data centers that allow strong digital access/connections, plentiful sources of electricity for any industrial needs, and low taxation. All main utilities needed are available, and there’s plenty of open space.

Birmingham’s metro area has more than 1 million people as of the 2020 U.S. Census. It acts as a vital hub for the region, as it has historically been considered part of the Deep South, the Piedmont Region, and Appalachia. It’s one of the largest banking centers in the country and is home to two Fortune 500 companies: Regions Financial and Vulcan Materials Company.

Similarly, Memphis is the fifth-most populous city in the Southeast, as well as the most populous city located on the Mississippi River. In 2021, it was the world’s second-busiest cargo airport. And speaking of the Memphis International Airport, FedEx maintains its global air hub there. In addition to the blues scene, Memphis has a great scene when it comes to plenty of other musical genres, including country, rock ‘n’ roll, soul, and hip-hop.
