How much growth is enough?

Populating strip-malls with small retail operations that sell low-cost goods or services is a low risk venture in lean economic times, which is why that's most of the "growth" that you're seeing. If there was some belief that the economic environment would sustain investment in capital and manpower sufficient to expand manufacturing, then we'd see more of that, and less of the CVS and Rite-Aid's.
