Agricultural parcels north of the railroad are currently fallow,<br />

as there exists no incentive for farmers to harvest in a flood-prone area. The economic potential of the China<br />

Hub plan, however, provides an opportunity to turn northwest Bridgeton into both an economic and a public asset. By latching grain storage to the<br />

railroad and elevating its contents above the five hundred year flood line, intensive agriculture can be implemented in northern Bridgeton without the risk of devastating<br />

economic losses. Industrial assemblages, such as water towers, can be engaged by visitors, allowing these industrial and recreational systems to coexist.<br />
