Section 7.0 Economic DevelopmentApart from a gas station/convenience store/restaurant at the northwest corner of US 59and FM 2919, there was no commercial activity near the interchange. Additionally,these commercial uses became entirely dependent on vehicular traffic using US 59. Inretail terms, groupings of retail sites often bring more customers. In other words,customers desire choices. The gas station and restaurant, which had becomeKendleton’s only visible commercial site on US 59, failed to compete with similarestablishments elsewhere.7.2 Existing EmploymentKendleton currently has a limited number of businesses that employ more than oneperson. After the closure of the gas station over a decade ago, the site remains vacantto this day. Belle’s Country Store opened on the southeast corner of US 59 and FM 2919and serves home-style meals and has a small retail component. The former mill inKendleton had long since converted to a lumber mill operation and began operation asAssociated Lumber Enterprises under new ownership in October 2010.Figure 7-3.
