| | Texas Governor Rick Perry - Trans Texas Corridor Fact Sheet |
 | | Additionally, state law requires that any development on corridor land such as a gas station, utility or railroad is subject to local property taxes, even though it is on state right of way. |
 | | The state has an obligation to make the best deal it can for corridor financing regardless of the address of the bidders, and the fact is private investors are willing to invest billions of dollars in Texas infrastructure that will create thousands of jobs for Texans. |
 | | It also requires the state to work with local officials and study traffic volume, circuity of travel for landowners, and access for emergency vehicles when determining which farm-to-market roads, ranch-to-market roads, county roads, and city arterials to connect to the corridor. |
