MORE GREAT COMMENTS-NO WALMART!!!

The insert letters continue to pour in everyday! Below is a sample of some of the GREAT comments and ideas. We will be presenting these to the Town Board on February 5 at the Town Hall meeting at 7:30pm. We hope that you can be there!

"Less is More! We don't need the Great Mall of China! USE the land, don't ABUSE it!" CCB

From Arizona: As a former resident of Alden and now living with two super Wal-Marts, I wish you the best in stopping them. It will forever change Alden from "Smalltown USA". VL

"I recently clocked the distance between the proposed site and the Wal-mart that is going in on Transit/William. IT was 9.7 miles. We don't need another Wal-mart." AJK

"This is a neighborhood killer! People moved out here to get away from it all." DMA

"I have lived in Alden for over 50 years on Sandridge for first 26. I have had the chance to move into Lancaster or Depew and chose not to because for the congestion of those towns. So what if I have to drive 15-20 minutes to shop. How long did it take my grandparents to get to a store and they survived!" TMA

"We agree that the Ames Plaza needs to be addressed. We should take a look at how East Aurora handled their situation w/Tops and Benderson. They made Benderson tear down the old building . We should start leaning on this development company the same way East Aurora did. COT

(moderator's comments: Red Stone is the owner of Ames Alden, not Benderson)
