Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park

 

Centrally located on the East Coast of the United States on the South End of historic Roanoke Island in Dare County, N.C., Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park enhances business opportunities in the seafood and marine trades.

 

Our watermen and seafood dealers draw their daily catches from the richest mix of cold and warm water finfish and shellfish on the Atlantic Seaboard. Located in the center of this region’s phenomenal boatbuilding and boat maintenance markets, our marine trade tenants are able to ship their products overnight to major markets up and down the coast (and to other countries through the international airport in Norfolk, Va.)

 

If you have a business (or have ever dreamed of operating one) that is directly seafood/marine-related, or supports either of these industries, you should visit, call, fax, or email us at the Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park to get details. For more information, contact:
