Part of the charm and the reason to spend time, money and shop in Ballston Spa is because of the small businesses that make up the "business district".
Don't need a Walmart here.

Underpaid workers with no insurance, get food stamps that taxpayer pay for, that are used in Walmart. Each family member has $36B, and that should be enough. Too many of Walmart stores already.

]]> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 08:42:29 UTC 17858071 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17845882?utm_medium=rss Yes a Big Box would bring jobs into the area BUT it would also eliminate all the small businesses and mom and pop stores which I do believe are the success of businesses in America and provide more enjoyable jobs than the big businesses provide. It really just balances the job record but brings in more construction which brings in more people therefore crime rises in the area. I prefer to keep the community the way it is...quiet and beautiful.

I have watched them move into a depressed town in SouthEast Georgia, touting their low prices. After their competition closed, a Kmart, Ames, every small local pharmacy and hardware store, Walmart increased their prices and the quality of their merchandise decreased. They came in with a small store (no grocery store). Today, they have a large store and a grocery store. The Winn-Dixie is no longer in business in this town. Now, everyone has to shop at Walmart.
