Over the next 18 months, $110 million worth of commercial development is scheduled to take place in Hazel Dell, a city along Interstate 5 just north of Vancouver, Wash.

National retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and Walgreen’s are planning new stores along Highway 99, north of 78th Street. McDonald’s and Applebee’s are proposing restaurants near the 99th Street exit off I-5. Office buildings and smaller retail stores are also under construction.

In addition to increased traffic counts, more married couples and rising household incomes, more efficient exits off I-5 at 78th and 99th streets also are spurring development. The roadwork, currently under way, will widen and improve I-5 from Main Street to just north of 78th at a cost of $ 41 million.
