Facility Overview
The US Nitrogen Parking Lot is an expansive, dedicated open-air surface parking facility situated at 1009 Potter Town Road in Midway, Tennessee (Greene County). Primarily serving the US Nitrogen industrial manufacturing complex, contractors, facility personnel, and pre-authorized commercial visitors, this surface lot is laid out to support heavy-duty daily usage. Because it is an unobstructed open-air grade-level lot with no overhead garage ceilings or low-clearance barriers, it accommodates standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, commercial work vans, and high-clearance utility vehicles with ease. Ample turning radii and wide driving lanes allow smooth navigation for larger service trucks and oversized passenger vehicles alike.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in the rolling industrial and agricultural landscape of western Greene County, this parking area sits directly adjacent to the US Nitrogen chemical processing facility. While primarily an industrial destination, the location is conveniently positioned near local regional centers:
- Midway & Mosheim Communities: Located just minutes away from central Midway and the neighboring town of Mosheim, providing fast access to local businesses, regional agricultural suppliers, and community services.
- Historic Greeneville, TN: Approximately 15 to 20 minutes east via US-11E, offering historic destinations such as the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, Niswonger Performing Arts Center, and downtown Greeneville dining.
- Nolichucky River Recreation: Positioned within a short driving distance of regional boat ramps, fishing spots, and public river parks along the Nolichucky River.
- Interstate 81 Logistics Corridor: Situated in close proximity to major logistics hubs and industrial parks lining the Interstate 81 corridor between Morristown and Johnson City.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress to the lot are handled directly via Potter Town Road, which connects smoothly to regional thoroughfares including West Andrew Johnson Highway (US-11E) and Interstate 81 (via Exit 23 or Exit 30). Traffic flow is generally steady and unencumbered, experiencing peak shift-change volumes during morning and evening rotations. Public transit is limited in this rural industrial sector of East Tennessee; personal automobiles, commercial fleet vehicles, and regional transport shuttles serve as the primary means of arrival. Direct access to primary arterial roads ensures that leaving the facility and connecting back to regional highways is quick and uncomplicated.

First-time visitors and contractors should check in at the main gate or administrative security desk upon arrival, as industrial plant safety protocols and visitor badge requirements may be enforced. Plan arrival times to avoid the brief congestion associated with scheduled plant shift changes. Ensure your GPS is programmed specifically for 1009 Potter Town Road, and remain alert for slow-moving commercial trucks and heavy equipment entering and exiting the surrounding industrial corridor.
