Gary, Indiana, is a port of entry located on the southern shore of Lake Michigan, adjacent to the Chicago metropolitan area. The port is closely associated with the steel and heavy manufacturing industries that define the region's industrial economy. Gary's proximity to Chicago and its access to Great Lakes shipping routes make it a relevant point for bulk commodity movements and industrial imports.
