I’m not the biggest fan of Wal-Mart myself and prefer to do my shopping elsewhere mostly because of their part in the United States huge trade deficit to China. I forget the stats but it is pretty significant. On the other hand having lived near Moab for a summer I could see how it could serve the community. A lot of residence there would travel to Grand Junction, Co for the type of supplies WM offers. Of course Moab would be better off if that money was spent in town rather than out of state. It seems WM gets what it wants at the end of the day, Wasatch County will be getting one soon despite protests from the local community.

Walmart also has a program that helps people with their prescription drugs. How many other stores offer such a program? This is a great plan that would help the people who live in the area.

I think the Walmart is a good idea for everyone. It lets the residents have a place to shop that has really good prices.
It will employ the local residents.
The Moab community should participate in the initial planning stages so that the structure is unique and fits in with the town. Plantings, lighting and outside facades can be tailored to make the building easier to look at.
