SUPPORTERS, NEIGHBORS and RESIDENTS’ PETITION AGAINST THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 155,000SF WALMART STORE IN THE NORTH KELSEY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
We, the undersigned, request that the Monroe City Council conduct a review on whether Sabey Corporation withheld key information from the city council in negotiations for the purchase of the North Kelsey lot adjacent to Galaxy Theatre that would have affected the final purchase price of the lot. In addition we request that the Monroe City Council vote to deny the site plan or restrict the size of the proposed 155,000sf Walmart Store on North Kelsey to 80,000sf. Any such store of this magnitude catering to a region-wide market will have a profound and detrimental impact to the surrounding area businesses and will significantly compound traffic congestion on already saturated streets. We hope that by limiting the size of the store we may limit the amount of negative traffic and economic impact a Walmart store will have in our community.
