Abstract:The analysis of the Chambers County study area land value, land use, and business activity data is summarized below: l. In a predominantly agricultural area considerably removed from an urban area, properties abutting IH 10 received significant positive land value influences from the highway improvement. 2. Practically all of the tracts of land which changed to higher uses (rural residential and commercial) were abutting IH 10. 3. Six of the seven commercial businesses in the study area are abutting IH 10. They are heavily concentrated at interchanges. The location of these businesses indicates IH 10 was considered the most desirable place for commercial establishments. 4; The performance of selected economic indicators suggests that the economic base of Chambers County has been modestly stimulated by the construction of IH 10.
