KENTUCKY SITE FIGHT: HUNDREDS ATTEND WAL-MART MEETING

Hundreds attend proposed Florence Wal-Mart meeting [WCPO-9 (Ohio)]

Hundreds of people showed up Wednesday night to see what Wal-Mart has planned for a busy intersection in Florence.
Residents’ biggest concern about the proposed Wal-Mart at U.S. 42 and Weaver Road is traffic.

The store is planned on the site of an old warehouse that burned down.

Wal-Mart says it has a plan to deal with traffic and plans an entrance similar to the Super-Wal-Mart on Houston Road.

As far as building so close to another store, Wal-Mart says the action has been successful in other communities.
