What is the population of the Spanish Springs area and what is the apartment capacity and will it really make a difference in anything?
I 100% agree. People are complaining that we are losing restaurants in the square, yet they try to block adding 2nd story apartments that will ADD customers to keep the restaurants in business!! Converting the 2nd floor in the square to apartments takes nothing away from villagers.
Maybe we should ask businesses on the square what they would like.
