No train wrecks are planned for the Corridor, however mining and rock 
crushing is permitted as a conditional use.  Also things like car 
dealerships and communication towers.  Your point is a good one; in order to 
negotiate, each party should have something to bargain with.  Extension of 
"A" street over the border would provide access to Airport Road and provide 
infrastructure for water and sewer.  That might be seen as enough of a 
positive thing to keep certain uses from popping up at the edge of town.  
That kind of horse-trading is a legitimate government activity.
