The Institute for Self Reliance has conducted a lot of research on the
benefits of locally owned businesses. In the process, they have gathered a
lot of information on the negative impacts of big box. They have a lot of
information on-line, including a "Big Box Toolkit" - this might have info
that will be of help to you:

Hello, 

At some point I recall hearing someone within our network mention I believe
it was a city ordinance that could be established to ward off Walmart.  If
any of you recall what that is or where we could find it please let me know.
The citizens of Sherwood found out last week that Walmart is planning on
closing a deal here in Sherwood next month. 

We have many, many people working to fight this before it's too late and
would love whatever strategies any of you may know of to help us do so. 

Thank you,
