To the Editor:

I am a supporter of the Wareham Walmart relocation. It's really a shame there's been so much controversy about the new Walmart. This would be so much better if everyone could join together and help to make this a team effort and a positive experience for all of the Wareham community as well as all the surrounding towns. It's like a helping hand extended to this wonderful town and its people; a true friend that only wants to contribute and offer hope towards a less expensive way of life.

The traffic issues that have been of concern will be worked out by all of the authorities that have been entrusted with the safety of those using this new asset to our town, as well as the Walmart team creating this brand new place for us to shop. We as a community should trust in our boards and in Walmart as a corporation to make the right decisions for everyone involved.

To the many people that want to reach out: Take their hand and help build a better life side-by-side with a powerful company that will always open its doors to our community.

There are hard-working families that desperately need this opportunity to provide for their families. Many stores come and go but Walmart has been a great neighbor to Wareham. It will be a more economical way of life for all of us.
