New York Site Fight: Residents Resist Wal-Mart
Residents Resist Wal-Mart in Northgate Plaza [WHAM-13, New York]
Wal-Mart is trying to convince Greece residents to OK a store planned for Northgate Plaza.
On Tuesday night, the company unveiled a revised design plan before a packed public meeting of the Greece Zoning and Planning boards.
Wal-Mart has already scaled back the size of the proposed superstore. The revised plan calls for a 146,000 square foot store and a new McDonald’s.
However, even the modifications are raising new concerns.
Resident Kevin Drake said, “Originally they said the trucks were only supposed to drive down English [Road] and now they say they’re going to get some trucks going down Dobson. That’s a big concern for me--I’m living right there and I know it’s a very small road and I just don’t think the road could handle it.”
