area and Livonia is only 20 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport and Willow
Run Airport.
All of Livonias major streets are five lane roads, which
makes the city even more accessible for trucks and shipments. Yet, with
an outstanding master-plan that clearly defines industrial areas from
residential areas; the city provides a great atmosphere for industry
