Lny Other Information Pertinent to Adequate Understanding of Intended Use find - its Relation to Near -bv Properties. Due to the reconsfiructian.af Hwy 110 to Hwy 45' and the resulting cuf -off of the frontage road access from Hwy 41, this. property is in jeopardy of becoming blighted. Its desirability as'a truck stop is greatly diminished.* It needs to be redeveloped with new uses. that do not need the Hwy 4.1 on and off ramp accessibility.
