Wal-Mart Supercenter is coming and there nobody really seems to care. We have heard about the project since the March 26th CCHOA annual members meeting. We have studied the project with a focus group, who has reached out to our neighbors in every direction. We have studied this project in detail and considered it's impact on Circle C Ranch, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods for at least 5 miles out.
It's just the begining of a series of invatsions for all of the very BIG DISCOUNT WAREHOUSE wholesale/retail giants.
Really, they are all looking real hard at MOPAC and SH 45 and several of them have announced plans to build out here. We could be surrounded by warehouses in 5 years.
Here in Circle C Ranch, we have been highly focused on our own neighborhood and the developers (residential and commerical) who are working with-in our immediate area. I think our CCHOA did a pretty good job with the settlement that was reached last year. I heard the high level details, like all of you, although it still remains to be seen, what will actually transpire.
I'm anxious for some new blood - some unique stores, shops, and interesting restaurants. I'm sick of fast food and national chain stores or having to drive to far north Austin for a decent dinner.
I'm not saying I don't shop at the Big Box Warehouse Discount stores - I certainly do. I even recommend them in some cases, but I sure don't want them any closer than they are today. They are a plague and they will survive this eccononmic depression like cockroaches.
These are not the kinds of stores designed to serve the local community and to provide good jobs and careers to our kids. These are corporate cancers - they have their place in world, but NOT IN MY BACKYARD.
Join the fight. We need good, sensible, appropriate business development here, sensitive to our unique master planeed community way fo life.
Don't leave this to your local government to work out - they are a business, to. A public, non-profit business, motivated to promote itself with taxes and the votes of a tiny minority of the citizens. The city and county governments are NOT going to be able or very interested in helping us. This is a very local issue for us. It's time to speak out and loudly.
