This town has to take baby steps very slowly. I agree with you. Re-urbanization of I-65 will actually be the safer way to go economically not racial or anything like that. Build up the exits to attract travelers and locals driving to and from I-85 and Prattville. Then hopefully more jobs will mean more interest/demand for rooftops. About like downtown. First more commercial sparked residential later in the development.

from Montgomery Advertiser 1/8/09 http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/articl...310/1007/news01 Montgomery city, county and state officials want more shopping opportunities in west Montgomery that would pull traffic off I-65, the city's most heavily traveled corridor. They believe that a tax incentive package may be the only way to lure developers into the area, and a bill has been drafted that would create an entity called the Montgomery I-65 Corridor Development Authority, which would allow joint-incentive packages. A capital investment of $100 million may offer up to a 75 percent local sales tax abatement, as well as property tax breaks.
