Carthage is located at the crossroads of Interstate 44 and the 4-lane U.S. 71, making distribution a breeze. I-44 goes from Philadelphia to L.A while US 71 (designated I-49) is part of an interstate network that goes from Winnipeg, Canada to Monterrey, Mexico. Carthage is located in the geographic and population center of the U.S.
Carthage is very pro business. It is home to Leggett & Platt's headquarters (Fortune 500) as well as Butterball, Schreiber Cheese, Ott's, and dozens of other industries. Union activity is extremely low. The city government is very active in attracting new business.
