JAllen, in Texas when it comes to businesses everyone should get a piece of the tax pie, all are included in the sales taxes.

Whoops. Musta missed that. Sorry.

But that doesn't necessarily keep you out of the fight. You may not be able to petition the city (bad idea anyway, IMO), but that doesn't or shouldn't stop you from talking to people, talking to the landowner, starting/donating to a fund to buy the land, etc. Heck, I live in Dallas and could do those things if I had a mind to. Just a thought.

eh, to be perfectly honest, I've got enough on my plate, I don't need to take on Wally World, too. Frankie's the one who asked for help and opinions then never showed back up.

RA, see pg 1 in this topic, I'm less than 2 miles from the scene, but still a diff town. I don't get to fight in the fight, just voice an opinion.

the problem is WM has chosen a lot that is across the street from a growing church (mine), an elementary school, and down the street from a jr high...and across from lots of sub-divisions, and I do mean these descriptions quite literally. This is making it highly, to put it mildly, unpopular. One of the roads to access this lot is currently a two lane road. It's going to be entertaining to say the least. Rumor has it there is a new HEB in the works in another location....AHHH it all becomes more clear

yes, Andy, definitely

And Frankie, I'll simply put a few things out there....I go to church across the street from the lot in question, so I have a right to an opinion so to speak...
1. I'm not particularly thrilled with their choice in location, to be honest, I'm fairly confused with it. it's out of the way, and across the street from a school, highly unusual for them.
2. people are ignoring the fact that WM and others often own land for years, then sell it without doing a thing with it. this land would be a good investment for them.
3. they have promised to widen several roads leading to that land, do you realize how expensive that will be? yeh, see #2.
4. those of you who live in Cibolo allowed this to happen, no one else. Sitting back and not paying attention to anything that happens in a growing town that has more than doubled in size in just a few (relatively) years...growth has to be managed, and to do that, citizens have to be involved, that only happens when people vote and attend at least a few of your city council meetings...heck, I've read the mayor's fb page and most of your citizens didn't even know she wasn't paid! Many didn't even know her name until this happened.
5. I really don't think it will happen, I hope not, getting to church during construction will be a nightmare, but it might.


(for the record, I live in Schertz, I know my mayor's name and I personally know several of our city council folks.)
