[Vision2020] Moscow-Pullman Highway going commercial

[g. crabtree]

If Pullman consumers have been willing in the recent past to travel to 
Lewiston, Clarkston, and Spokane to do their buying what is it about 
traveling the extra two miles to the Thompson property that is so off 
putting? You contend that our western commercial corridor is about used up 
and advocate for additional development to the north. What is it about these 
two compass points that makes them so desirable and commercial expansion to 
the east, not? It would seem to me that Moscow should logically develop 
commercially along the length of both the east/west and north/south axis's.
