Monsey, NY - A decision to have the developer of a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter provide a study of the economic ramifications of the project has proved to be a plus for the development's opponents.
"This is a victory for the community," said Richard Lipsky, director of the Manhattan-based Neighborhood Retail Alliance, which fights for the rights of small businesses. "It's great that discretion was used to expand the scope and look at these essential issues. It's important information that needs to be examined." And after the board reviews the studies a public hearing will be set.
