Another hypothesis might be the developer is charging beyond what a Mom and Pop business can afford to pay for rent and MOM and POP still be profitable. Don't forget their model is to minimize most larger corporations/franchises on their domain. No lack of people here from 5 - 9 pm. Lack of two hour happy hours, lack of hard libation for HH, Lack of good restaurants and an abundance of businesses that are not much more than novelty shops.
And the answer is - 7 apartments will save SS from doomsday.
Reviatization - BS.

Your first paragraph is about areas outside of Spanish Springs. Very little building occurring in Spanish Springs.
Your opinion and hypothesis is just that - Yours, and you are entitled to it. But the Developer is entitled to their opinion. If they choose to repurpose facilities like they did with the old sales facility (MVP, Restaurant, Car rental), good for them.
How does 7 apartments hurt anything?
