For the most part it will come down to two choices :
1) Become a part of the Seanchan Empire
2) Create a prosperous and stable society
Building a road to the north would be their best bet to create a stable and prosperous society. Initially it would be a huge public works program that would put to work much of the displaced populace. Once the road was complete the trade along the route would feed many small towns and villages that would grow because of the road.
The Seanchan may be strong believers in trade but it would be a huge gamble for Ghealdan to rely on them not taking advantage of the only traditional means of trade.
This is of course all dependent on some sort of truce being signed.

Only if they stay on a southern course. Altara is actually farther south.

I think you are incorrect, but not b/c of map - because of what the projection of force would need

I said the road goes through northern Altara, and you disagreed, claiming Altara was further south.

Yes - I said Altara is effectively south as they don't control or patrol most of their lands.

A road north would be useless at this point.
