Re: Save Saranac Lake, NY from....
WalMart would be a great addition to that town and it would benefit the local economy by leaps and bounds. The City Council needs to address Big Box issues ASAP.
I'm sure a Conditional Use Permit will be required and that's where the town has power to exercise some design control. They just need to step up and do it.
BTw, where's the next closest town with a WalMart? Or even better, Where's the next closest town that would like to have a Wal Mart?
There are many instances where WalMart just abandoned thoughts of entering one town because of opposition and went to the next town. I don't need to tell you what happened to the first town, but I will... MILLIONS in lost revenue and nothing but a shell of a town left.
