Excuse me? I thought that if your property is on a county highway, ALL assessments are the responsibility of the county. My mother (McLeod County) won a lawsuit based on just that principle, voiding her assessment of commercial property on a McLeod County highway that happened to run through Hutchinson. Has this changed? >But how will a commuter corridor (highway?) serve a neighborhood, and in >microcosm, what will my 50 large buy me? Well, it's not going to get you walk-in customers, that's for sure. Your property will be perceived as a barrier to faster commuting, not a destination to the people passing by the front door twice a day. And what are your plans for making them stop and shop?
