The effects of the 54 Expressway on commercial development and business was one of a series of hot topics three Lake of the Ozarks area development owners and proprietors commented on during the recent 2011 Lake Area Real Estate Symposium on Thursday at Osage National Golf Resort in Lake Ozark.

For one Lake Area commercial developer and property owner, the 54 Expressway in time will mean garnering bigger junior anchor and big box store business at central Missouri's lake.
