A LOCAL BUILDER HAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS FINALIZING AGREEMENTS WITH NEW LEAF MARKET, TO ANCHOR AN APTOS VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT. THE 17 THOUSAND 500 SQUARE FOOT GROCERY STORE WOULD BE LOCATED JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE APTOS POST OFFICE. BARRY SWENSON’S APTOS VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT WOULD INCLUDE 63 HOMES, AND 71-THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE.
SOME LOCALS SAY THAT BETWEEN THIS 11-AND-A-HALF ACRE DEVELOPMENT, AND SAFEWAY’S RE-CREATION OF THE RANCHO DEL MAR SHOPPING CENTER, THEIR TOWN WILL LOSE IT’S SMALL VILLAGE FEEL….WHILE OTHERS SAY THEY LOOK FORWARD TO A TIME WHEN THEY’LL HAVE THE ADDED CONVENIENCE OF MANY MORE SHOPS (AND CHOICES FOR HOUSING) IN APTOS….AND APTOS VILLAGE.
