DONATE NOW TO HELP STOP WAL-MART ON THE FRENCH KING This past week marked the 16th anniversary of the defeat of Wal-Mart in Greenfield. But the battle over sustainable land use never ends. For more than three years, a wealthy developer from Connecticut has been trying to build a 160,000 square foot superstore on 19 acres at the end of the French King Highway, right across Route 2A from the site where Wal-Mart was defeatedin 1993. The store proposed today is 2.5 times bigger than Stop & Shop. It would be the largest single retail building in Franklin County history. The French King Wal-Mart is significantly larger than the Wal-Mart in Northampton, Hadley, Orange, or Hinsdale---all of which are around 100,000 s.f. The developer refuses to make the store smaller, despite Wal-Mart’s statements to the media that it is “comfortable” with 70,000 square foot superstores. |

A message from the President In a year that has been very exciting and fruitful for our museum I regret that I must comment about a sad event. We lost a much loved and admired member of our group. Board member Anthony Guglielmi died of Cancer a short while ago. It was just one year ago that I welcomed Professor Tony and his Column “The Turning Point” to this newsletter. Tony brought to the museum a dynamic new dimension with his rare combination of University level economics and a “shop floor ” awareness of the practical contributions that make our industrial heritage so special. |
