Our Mall
We have a beautiful new mall that needs to be filled. We need to have
the grocery store open. Not having a store affects the entire
community. First of all, our senior citizens, several (we could say
‘many’) of which are no longer able to drive long distances, do not
have any means of shopping on their own. This deprives them of their
right to have access to a food supply. It deprives them of their
ability to remain self-sufficient and independent. It is definitely
depressing for them.
Secondly, the high cost of fuel (transportation in general) hurts
everyone in the community.
Thirdly, getting the mall filled will provide jobs for many people.
Groceries and either some type of retail or manufacturing would benefit
everyone, not only within our town but also in our tri-community which
is our entire school district. The school district includes the
communities of Hazelton, Moffit, and Braddock and even students from
outside of that area.
