Which is it? Does S.A.G.A really want growth in Springport? If so, why haven't they tried to get a grocery store here? Or a Family Dollar or Dollar General? What is their reasoning against having something like one of these here? Don't want to hurt the 2 convenience stores? Cause too much traffic? Farmer's don't want it? What about our citizens who have to drive at least 10 miles to the nearest shopping center or grocery store? What about creating jobs in Springport? Right now, we have 1 gas station/convenience store and 1 convenience store, a pizza parlor, a bakery/restaurant/tanning salon, a restaurant, a tavern and a beauty shop. Then we have 2 insurance agents, I think we have 2 factories still but not sure of that and 1 mechanic. So where are people supposed to work? Not only do our citizens have to travel, but with the cost of gasoline and the distance they end up saving less than they would have if they had the convenience of shopping locally, and the convenience stores overcharge and many times their products are out dated.
