I drive I-380 most days in the corridor, and there are many square miles of land right now being bulldozed. I would guess there is 5 square miles being developed. Is there any restrictions on farmland being converted to other uses in the corridor? Does the land need to be annexed first before it gets built on? My wife hates to see farmland go under, but I tell here people can no longer afford to keep it as farmland, likely has far more value for other purposes. At least most of these developments are scraping off the black dirt and saving it before the drop clay on the land or build anything. For years now there has been thousands of dump trucks dropping clay on this land and building it up. Heck, the North Liberty UIHC hospital is moving dozens if not hundreds of trucks per day to the area around the Forevergreen interchange.
