September 16, 2008:  Wal-Mart announced proposed plans to build a new store in East Patchogue.

November 2008: Community gathers to question the project, citing 5 Wal-Mart stores within a 15 miles of the proposed site.
Asking questions surrounding Wal-Mart's lack of business ethics, lack of respect for communities, failure to provide quality jobs, the enormous threat on local businesses, cost to tax-payers, increased traffic and crime, environmental threats, we ask:
Do we really need Wal-Mart in our community?

Today: Join the coalition to keep Wal-Mart out of East Patchogue.

Be sure to check out our Forum to discuss the project with other community members and check the news and events page to stay up to date on meetings and project updates.  We're also on Facebook.
