Interstate Highway Interchanges Reshape Rural Communities

Moon, Henry E.,

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 04, issue 01

Abstract: Highway interchanges offer rural counties practically ready-made sites for development. And with over 42,500 miles of interstate highways, the opportunities for interchange development are nearly everywhere. But some interchanges offer better development opportunities than others. This article, based on the Kentucky experience, offers a guide to the factors that make a difference in development, so local officials can anticipate the development prospects of future interchanges and monitor the development already under way around existing interchanges.
