Congrats. Your small peaceful town is about to become a gas stop on the side of an interstate highway expansion.
Either it will boom and you'll all be gentrified out. Or it'll bust and dwindle away to literally a gas stop.
Flip a coin.
I'm sure the local business community (on the side that wasn't torn down) was all for it because it would bring so much more traffic to their business, but they'll soon discover they lost all foot traffic and nobody driving will stop either because they're going too fast to even see that there's a business there.
well, let em suffer then.
I see it mostly depending on where the Walmart goes..
