Bogie Shooter, thanks for the info. The proposal looks promising. I think starting modest is much more sensible than erring on the side of overbuilding, with the inherent dangers of operating in the red and having to subsidize or close down.

I also like the fact that the facility will be at an existing town square. Drawing more people to SS should enable more businesses to do well there, thus potentially revitalizing the whole square.

Just as old strip malls eventually lose business and tenants as new strip malls are built, the older town squares would suffer if everything new and exciting went to "the latest and greatest" town square.

So far, I'm encouraged.
