The rural communities are supporting it. Highway programs are one of the few ways governments can actually boost enterprise outside of tax benefits. In the case of at least the east part of the corridor, most of this will be on the current 59/259 improvement plan, and will have very little impact on anyone who doesn't live right on the current highways, and those people would be effected by the improvement program anyway.
From my understanding, this is similar to what we're seeing in the west part of the corridor as well.
Of course, the Farm Bureau has raised concerns that there may be an issue with the 1,200 foot 'right of way' possibly interfering with farms, however, this only results in 146 acres per road mile, very little difference over the right of way variance (of about 135 acres per road mile) on the current roadways the corridor will be built on.

Right now, no farms have been 'split' as the fear. Those battles should be fought individually if they even come up.

Perry has even proposed taking a lot of the burden off taxpayers by shifting the corridor to a toll situation. I can see where many don't like this, but they will pay through either taxes or another means. At least with tolls, much of the burden will go to truckers (mostly from Mexico and out of state.)
