How Good Roads Pay For Themselves
Data from Virginia and Alabama show road improvements increasing land values and reducing haul costs. In Lee County Virginia a 100 acre farm doubled its sale price after road work, while a 188 acre tract rose from 6 000 to 9 000 dollars with no land change. In Jackson County Alabama a 250 000 dollar bond funded road upgrades, raising per acre values from about 4 90 to 9 79 and selling prices to 17 25 per acre. The U S Department of Agriculture notes farming profits rise with lower transport costs, boosting farm capitalization.
