| Middlebury, VT – The
Orton Family Foundation enthusiastically announced its
release of the Big Box
Evaluator tool, designed not to help
communities and individuals learn about the impacts of
big box retail stores. The unbiased tool is designed not
to take a stand on big box development, but to help
citizens make informed decisions based on each
community’s specific characteristics and values.
Available free to the
public at
www.bigboxevaluator.org , the web-based interface
allows users to learn about commercial and retail
development in general, but also to input specific
information from their communities and receive
customized reports on economics, values, planning and
municipal services, and ways to improve the development
process.
