Goal Met!
Ordinance 1450, as proposed by town council member Don Langrehr, would require a special use permit for the retail buildings at 80,000 square feet in an effort to control development of so-called big-box stores such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot. A big box store would have negative impacts on our environment and our local businesses and would only bring more traffic and sprawl, which would permanently change the landscape of our town. Tell Fairmount Property, the town council and the planning commission that we want to keep Blacksburg a special place. Expedite the ordinance and keep the big boxes out.

I support this petition. There are too many Walmarts in such a small area already. The Christiansburg shopping area can support all the Blacksburg shoppers. Blacksburg is beautiful, we don't want big box stores to come any closer!

There is no need to place a Walmart in Blacksburg. It is only less than 15 miles away for the town and it is definitely better that way. We already have so much traffic during football and basketball seasons, and this would even more sprawl and hurt many small business that make Blacksburg a special place.

Wal-Mart is not necessary in a town such as Blacksburg. We are self-sufficient, with local businesses covering most of the needs of the residents. Just about everything else can be found in Christiansburg.
