Although portions of the community are still rural, it is under intense development pressure influenced by the presence of the airport, which is undergoing major expansion, combined with excellent access to freeways, major roads, and railroad facilities.

Several major mixed-use developments such as Metro World Centre and Metro Airport Center, including corporate offices, R&D, retail and residential uses are being developed in close proximity to the airport. A new I-94 interchange at Vining Road will provide superb access to the Metro Center area.

Existing residential development is in the form of small tract development and scattered single family residences. A large hotel/commercial area has developed north of Interstate 94 along Merriman Road which is adjacent to the Metro Center development area.

Most of the balance of commercial development is of the local type. Industrial development is clustered around the airport along Middlebelt, Merriman, and Goddard Roads. Interstate 275 has influenced industrial development south and west of the airport.
