the stores will come in after the road is completed.



You see it all along these major roads nowadays. Champions, Spring, Atascocita, Cypress, all along 1960 is littered with stores.

sprawl attract these highway lined stores like flies.

The city that I'm from is about the same size as The Woodlands, but doesn't have all those great developments and projects; it's so tied and obsessed with The University of Alabama. The Woodlands seems like a small little powerhouse that I wish my city could take notes from.

The third loop (The Grand Pkwy) isn't really that great, it's going to be a "Scenic Route" around the city, and the loop will also hold the record of being the largest in the world.

The problem with that is, there isn't any land left that isn't claimed and zoned by industrial parks or that isn't owned by developers that are planing the same developments we already have. The only store planed is a Walmart but it's been planed since the 70s. It's won't come for another 10-15 years. & to top it off the only road that has open land that can handle the traffic a shopping center would create is toll tag only without feeder roads
