 Alert | My sources tell me Walmart's feelings were hurt because of all the nasty things people have been saying about them here and now they are having second thoughts about Maricopa.'
Thanks,

Liberalism and capitalism address themselves to the cool, well-balanced mind. They proceed by strict logic, eliminating any appeal to the emotions. Socialism, on the contrary, works on the emotions, tries to violate logical considerations by rousing a sense of personal interest and to stifle the voice of reason by awakening primitive instincts.

Alert | | Interesting...I have just been reading that people were ready for them to build and come already and have been "hurt" because Walmart doesn't think that the current population is worth [big enough] for a store right now. That's intersesting. I wouldn't even think that Walmart exec's would look at 85239.com as a source. If anything, I would have thought they would hear our cry in the desert! | | | |

Alert | Mrs. AzPilot06 works for one of the big GC's that are bidding on the contract  There won't be any substantial work on the site until a General Contractor is selected, as they coordinate all of the development and sub-contractor assignments. | | | |

Good questions all of them. I'd imagine not much will happen until they pick a General. In the particular case of this General, they're currently building 2 or 3 other Wal-Marts in the valley, and my understanding is that they go pretty quickly once they start.

I don't know, Walmart has a pretty efficient system of constructing new stores. I don't think we will be doing any christmas shopping there, but maybe picking up some valentines cards in our walmart....

Alert | | I know they can be fast but I have seen how fast the land has been upgraded and that is what leads me to think more like a year. | |
