Go Wal-Mart. God Bless the Waltons!
Wal-Mart negotiated a low-tax deal with our local Govt, and built a store at a large intersection in our town.
10 years later, the tax deal and their lease was up. They moved across the town line and built a bigger store down the street.
Now we have a derelict building with weeds, graffiti, dumped garbage, etc... I suppose it is not Wal-Mart’s problem - the property developer probably owns it. And our local Gov’t probably dropped their pants 10 years ago to get Wal-Mart to come in.
So - while I don’t blame Wal-Mart, you can see how residents would be very concerned about the end-result.
