While not as big as say the three cities, it does beg the question if these rural areas will start to see more highway-side plaza developments (like in Nova Scotia) that will act as regional shopping hubs. Two examples in Nova Scotia are the long-established Sobeys plazas in Hubbards and Enfield which have been around for decades. They are now seeing lots of rural growth in those areas due to the accessibility of services - especially grocery.

It kinda makes sense cuz if you're gonna move from ON/BC to somewhere that is "rural" and you're flush w. cash, you might as well have some nice water to look at. Just about all of Kent's population is near the shore anyway, and beaches extend pretty much down the whole coastline through Westmorland.
