Sandy Township Residents React To Wal-Mart Ruling

Posted: 4:29 pm EST January 10, 2008Updated: 5:35 pm EST January 10, 2008

A new Wal-Mart Supercenter will be built in Sandy Township, Clearfield County after a state court denied the appeal of an opposition group.

The group, Sandy Citizens Arguing for Responsible Economic Development, or SCARED, argued against the Wal-Mart being built in an industrial zone.

The store will be built behind Wal-Mart's current location in Sandy Township.

The current store will be torn down and the space will be used for parking.

Several Wal-Mart shoppers said they're looking forward to the new store.

"It's much better to buy everything at one store," said Ashley Frantz. "That's what you can do at a supercenter."
