Harvest Square entry
Somebody thinks it is appropriate to talk about a new shopping center called Harvest Square. I'm sorry, but in my opinion, a generic suburban shopping center is NOT significant enough for an encyclopedia entry. There is nothing unique about Publix, Domino's, and a Mexican restaurant coming to a suburb. I'm going to revert the edit again unless someone gives me a good reason why it should be included in the article. Huntsville89 (talk) 21:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Well I can state that I feel that it is good information. The article presently states: "Retail trade is rapidly expanding as of 2004. Service industries such as automotive repair and many others are growing rapidly. The area is a center of small businesses servicing a wide area".

This is generic enough to tell me nothing. THe point of the new shopping center is that Harvest is becoming a real town. People are moving to the area, and finally there are services to support. This is no longer the country now it is the suberbs. I feel the economy section should reflect this. 128.158.211.200 (talk) 11:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

There's a Publix in Meridianville. Moores Mill also has one. Do you see any mention of the store in those articles? Once again, there is nothing special about a Huntsville suburb having a Publix, a Redstone Federal Credit Union, and an Advance Auto Parts; it just sounds like local boosterism that doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. Now, if someone adds something that doesn't directly mention these stores, such as this, then there wouldn't be a conflict: "Retail trade is rapidly expanding as of 2008, with the construction of new stores and restaurants which coincide with continuing residential growth. The area's businesses serve a wide area, encompassing much of Northwest Madison County and Northeast Limestone County." Huntsville89 (talk) 01:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I added your words. I have no interest in boosting the area. I've lived there several years, and those who live in the area find the above growth unexpected and surprising.

Update economy
The economy section is talking about home construction stats from 2003. Probably timer for an update. RJFJR (talk) 16:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
