Wal-Mart Begins Construction of Supercenter in Central Reno

Friday, March 5th, 2010

After a yearlong wait, work has finally begun on the new Super Wal-Mart to be located off East Second Street on the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony. The delay was caused mostly by the massive, lengthy environmental clean up from the previous tenants, a radiator repair shop. 6,000 tons + of oil-contaminated soil was removed from the site. Once this superstore is complete Wal-Mart will be closing the Northtowne location and giving the employees there an option to transfer over. Even if all their current employees located at the Northtowne Wal-Mart transfer over to the new superstore, they will still be hiring something like 200 additional employees to handle the larger demands of the much lager store.

Looking for a new job? Wal-Mart will be hiring in Fall!

Green Building

Good numbers for green construction! The US Green Building Council (USGBC) and Booze Allen Hamilton issued a report saying 7.9 million us green jobs will be boosting our economy over the next four (4) years.
Compared to 2000-2008′s numbers which saved/created 2.4 million jobs which generated $123 billion in wages. I hope USGBC succeeds in making ‘Green Building’ obsolete for a much better and cleaner tomorrow for future generations.
