Impact analysis
Roughly $25,000 a month in lost rent is at stake for the developer; the town gains commercial tax base once the strip building is finished.
Future apartment tenants who can move in this winter, and the developer.
Potentially no one, though the town risks losing leverage if commercial construction stalls.
