Houma  is strategically located approximately 26 miles from the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Houma Navigational Canal. Houma, the hub of commercial, residential and industrial markets, is located on the axis of The Houma Navigational Canal, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and within a few miles of US Highway 90 (future I-49 Corridor.)  These factors, alone, make Houma-Terrebonne a prime location for Gulf-related super-industries to locate transportation hubs.
