Seems that the way we do business here in Hawaii scares off another business.
Even though Wal-Mart says they pulled the plug because of a nation wide cut back, I bet they weighed all the political problems here and decided to cut their losses.
Higa initiates a bill to “Ban big box stores” then he votes against it??????? Hello…….
Wal-Mart will not expand and I think we all loose. We loose, employment in the store, construction jobs including the material suppliers, DISCOUNT FOOD, a green store, DHHL revenue and new infrastructure to the county roads and intersections.
As in all construction projects Wal-Mart would be required to pay for infrastructure improvements in the immediate area.
They vowed to make the new sore more energy efficient and with the new price of oil the discounted food would help everyone.
Lets see after all the complaining about using the land for DHHL and homes for the Hawaiians just how many homes will be built on these 15 acres, none. The land is zoned for commercial use and will stay that way until someone leases it.
