Residents from 3 towns oppose plan for Wal-Mart Supercenter

ive been hoping for a walmart to come,I hate the drive to manahawkin to go to stores and then in summer you can't even walk in the stores.the sooner it gets here the better.

I can't wait for Wal-Mart to come to Tuckerton - we don't have any department stores like that in our area and to go to Manahawkin especially in the summer is a nightmare. I will still frequent the local businesses also.

I can't wait for the Walmart either. I hate driving all the way to Manahawkin and wasting all that gas. I go to Walmart often so it will be nice to have one in closer proximity.

Looks to me like the other 3 people that posted their comments are employed by walmart or just plain stupid.
Monica since your from manahawkin why would you drive to LEH to go to this walmart stay in manahawkin
Marie I don't even know where monroe township is but I am sure there are other walmarts closer to you then LEH.
And Lindsay.um are you aware that there is a walmart down in mays landing,along with the hamilton mall so why would you drive to manahawkin save your gas and stay where you are
The people in LEH don't want this walmart,we don't want to be like manahawkin walmart should just go away Come on people stop letting there out of towners tell us we want a walmart

i am from little egg harbor,not absecon

Why does Wal Mart want to build a superstore in LEH?
How does this area justify a store larger than the Manahawkin store... and to be open 24 hours? What does Wal Mart know about the future of this area that we don't? And come on now, Manahawkin is only six miles away, about a 12 minute drive. Plus there are all the other stores nearby.

I heard that they are going to close the manahawkin walmart when the LEH one opens up.Why can't they just stay up there? they now have too much competion up in manahawkin people would rather get a quality product and a fair price not that cheap crap that walmart pushes on everyone.
I pray to god it doesn't get built

I live in leh,don't know why they said I live in manahawkin.I still think alot of people in LEH want the walmart here.I understand that we do not want to look like manahawkin but one store to all the houses/schools that are being built would not hurt.

It makes me sick to think that this supercenter will be built. I have lived here my whole life and have seen the destruction of natural resources in this town speed up in the last 10 years or so. I like the fact that all the stores and traffic are in Manahawkin, away from my eyes, away from my ears, and away from my lungs unless I choose to drive there when I need shopping done. We do not need this store here, what do you think will happen to the 539 & Rt 9 intersection when the store is open? We can barely handle the traffic now. And it's not just consumers that will be traveling these roads, it's employees and endless stock trucks. Open your eyes people! Wouldn't you rather be inconvenienced by a short ride in your car to stores than live with the inconvenience of what this WalMart will do to our town? And Monica, you said that one store won't hurt but don't you see it's going to open the door for tons of other stores. Don't you think the housing developments that have been built here in recent years and the plans for all those in the works are enough? Leave Little Egg Harbor alone, go build somewhere else!!!
