Economy Mayor David Poling released the following statement:
"Timing is everything. There couldn't be a better time for the new Economy Borough Walmart. Our new Walmart opening means more than just low prices. The creation of 300 plus jobs and the jump start on the revitalization of our commercial district is just a beginning. Eight years ago when I sat with Walmart executives and developers, a Supercenter coming to Economy Borough was merely a vision for the future. I am grateful Walmart shared that vision and now it is a reality."
