Undeveloped land in Salem is limited. So why, at the first sign of interest from a big box developer, does the city ignore laws and cater to their every wish? In this day and age, you would think Nature holds a bit more priority over a few low paying jobs.

    Public Meeting to identify Priority Sites for Conservation and Development in Salem

    Monday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m.

    Salem City Hall Annex, 120 Washington St., 3rd floor Meeting Room

    MAPC will seek comments on a draft map of priority conservation and development sites.

  • @MastersMarketRealty Yes it is true that the Salem Walmart needs an update. Looking at this video I notice the currant lot is plenty of space for a nice remodel.

    As for the jobs you suggest. Cashiers and people who stock shelf at Walmart earn less than $9.00 an hour. That is not a job that will allow the worker a living wage. If the plan is seen through, it is safe to say other existing jobs along Highland Ave will have to be eliminated. So it will even it out.
