There is a proposed development of the land between Winona Rd. and Fifty Rd.,south of the service road. The proposal includes the building of a 183,000 square foot Walmart (TWICE the size of the Superstore in Grimsby),with over 3,000 parking spaces,with an additional 200,000 square feet of retail,as the 'gateway' to our community.This is 400,000 square feet collectively! REASONS TO OPPOSE THIS DEVELOPMENT -Traffic Congestion;it will be like having the Peach Festival traffic everyday of the year. -Upgrading the infrastructure will add greatly to our tax burden. -It weakens the sense of place and community cohesiveness. -It masquerades as a form of economic development. -It will not be a pleasing,appropriate gateway to the community.

I logged on this morning and just stared at the screen because I honestly cannot believe how many people have joined this fight. It is wild to think about that land being covered in concrete when I look at the space today and I am just so grateful that so many of you see the same disaster coming that I do.

Keep big box out of Winona. It is not needed and it will just kill the small businesses that actually care about this town.

Enough with the big box stores. We already have enough traffic and noise in our neighborhood. Keep it local and keep Winona the way it is.

traffic is already a nightmare during festival season. we dont need 3000 parking spots making it a permanent disaster every single day of the week.
