Whatever gets built, set aside ground-floor space at below-market rent for genuinely local, independent businesses, with a cap on national chains. Otherwise the only tenants who can afford new construction are banks and phone stores, and we'll have spent a decade and a fortune to get a strip mall that feels like everywhere else.

    Watched this exact thing hollow out another town's main street. Write it into the lease terms now or it won't happen.

    Right-of-return and a chain cap are the two clauses that decide whether this stays Tam Junction or becomes Anywhere, USA. Everything else is details.
