Kennett is located in southeast Missouri's Bootheel region on U.S. Highway 412.  It is three miles east of Arkansas, 20 miles west of the Mississippi River and 21 miles from Tennessee.  Kennett sits at the gateway to mid-America — easily within a day's drive of 76% of the nation's major markets.  In addition, Kennett Memorial Airport's 5000 ft. instrument-approach runway and the recent four-lane expansion of U.S. Highway 412 are two major transportation gems for businesses and industries looking to expand or relocate to the area.  In addition, Kennett attracts approximately 100,000 residents within a 30 mile radius of the community as a primary outlet for business and commerce.
