Wal-Mart says they want to build in our town. Current proposed location is just west of the Prague Middle School. Prague has taken great pride in our Main Street and the flourishing businesses that have been a part of our community for years. Our City has worked hard to improve traffic flow and landscaping of our Main Street. Prague businesses can have beautiful fronts, signage and landscaping - but without customers they will close. Our family businesses will not survive if a Wal-Mart in town is undercutting their profit with prices that we simply can not compete with. Spending money at our local businesses keeps the money here in Prague and spent up to 3 more times studies have shown. Our small businesses keep our town great.

I too feel the same way as mentioned previously. The businesses in our town are locally owned. My fear is this will cause our businesses to close down leaving us like Stroud after they put the mall in north of Stroud. Strouds mainstreet looks like a ghost town. I feel like we as Prague people should of had a vote or some say in this WalMart coming in. Whoever made the decision did not think about what an impact this will have on our town.

traffic by the school is already bad enough. putting a giant store there is just a terrible idea with the kids walking around.
