The City of Clinton annexed the right of way along US183 two miles into Washita County for the purpose of getting a five-lane instead of four-lane divided highway when Bar-S got their 4-lane projects between their plants and distribution centers started. In doing so, they also had to run a water main and install hydrants every so many feet. Presumably this is to attract business along the highway. 10 years later, and I haven't seen anything new. The only real advantage is easier entry and exit for FDF, UPS, and whoever else is in that rail yard.If it was meant to attract business, I don't think that it was thought through. The businesses would have quite the setback on the west side due to the railroad (which would also hinder entry and exit of businesses because Farmrail does regular car attachments and detachments in this area), and the terrain on most of the east side really isn't that suitable for *affordable* development, at least in my non-developer opinion.Who knows? Maybe the folks in that rail yard had a say... I was 14/15 at the time that was going on... meaning I was dreaming about source code, consuming a diet of easymac and mountain dew, running a 6 machine LAN in my bedroom (all donated), and enjoying long nights clicking my keyboard along (and getting confused sometimes on which keyboard I was using because I didn't have a KVM).If the City of Clinton chooses to annex my property, we will move immediately.</blockquote>
