Well, this past Monday night the council voted to move forward with a plan to revitalize Westbrooke Village Shopping Center.
Something definitely needs to be done. A big box retailer is good if and that is a big if, it can draw from outside of Shawnee. If all it does is cannibalize existing businesses, then it does not do the city any good.
Anyway, I'm not going to go into total detail here tonight. The Shawnee Dispatch pretty much covered the high points here: http://www.shawneedispatch.com/news/2014/apr/29/plan-bring-big-box-retailer-westbrooke-village-mov/
Pay close attention to Councilmember Sawyer's comments. There is a certain validity to them
I'll have more later on.
