He <br /> 9 said that they would like feedback on this. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Slide #24 <br /> Rural Activity Node <br /> --------------------- <br /> Description <br /> Rural Activity Nodes are key intersections of larger rural <br /> roads and state highways that can or do already serve the <br /> surrounding community with commercial retail and service _ r <br /> uses.
