Albany--Wal-mart plans to build more than fifty stores in struggling neighborhoods around the country.
A lot of folks in east Albany hope that means the retail giant will come their way. In the past, Walmart has looked at the eastside as a potential store site.
Wal-mart plans to build in areas that have a high crime or need revitalization.
The company often accused of putting small stores out of business says it wants to a better community partner.
People in East Albany say that's good news.
"It would be nicer to go to one closer over here that's open 24 hours, and it'll give a lot of people some jobs," says Peggy Herring.
Walmart estimates the stores and other development would generate between 15,000 and 25,000 jobs and more than $100 million in state and local tax revenue.
