When I was looking for <br />a bigger house in 1987, I instructed the realtor to find one between Rice Street and Snelling Avenue, <br />between highways 36 and 694, preferably Roseville. My wife was very pleased that I chose to stay <br />in Roseville <br />Please hold off, or stop completely, the plans for a Wal-Mart store in Roseville. Travel through <br />Roseville and stop to look around the existing shopping areas. See all of the empty spaces that <br />exist, and have existed for a significant time. We have sufficient shopping areas and choices in <br />Roseville now. We could use more, high quality, small businesses to fill those empty spaces. Some <br />high-tech product companies would be a great addition on any vacant land. <br />The addition of Wal-Mart would likely lead to the closing of more small businesses in Roseville, and <br />empty spaces, like it has in so many other cities. Wal-Mart also has a bad reputation for lawsuits <br />brought by their workers. <br />We need to guard very carefully that we don’t become one of those typical ‘first-tier suburbs’, filling <br />up with tattoo parlors, pawn shops, rowdy night spots, and other less desirable businesses. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Stephen Weber, <br />585 Transit Ave <br />Stephen Weber <br />Confidentiality Statement: The documents accompanying this transmission contain confidential information that is legally privileged.
