You are the Senior Vice President of New Business Development at Walmart Stores,

Question

You are the Senior Vice President of New Business Development at Walmart Stores, Inc. Your superiors have informed your team that they wish to expand into the urban marketplace. They have identified a piece of available real estate in the section of Boston known as Beacon Hill. The parcel is adjacent to the Charles River and abuts some of the oldest residences in the city (nay, in the nation perhaps). Although this would be an expensive investment because of the real estate value, the executives believe it would pay off in terms of spinning Walmart’s brand identity. Your immediate task is to consider the various types of law that would be involved in the process of developing and operating this new business location. In answering this question, discuss what sources of law you would want to consult and what types of substantive law you think would be applicable to the stages of this project, from its inception to its completion. Your response should be 2 pages double-spaced. You may consult the Internet if you want general information about the geographic area.

EDIT: any and every law that may be considered when going through the process of developing and operating the walmart after construction. I.E. Historical preservation laws, Commerce law, worker safety laws, zoning laws, ETC....

Explanation / Answer

Special Permit Considerations

A new / expanding business may be required to procure business/ environmental/occupational permits. Such permits are required by state, federal & local laws to fulfil the following purposes:

Zoning

Get in touch with Local zoning authorities in the early phase of the project to find out if there are any constraints on business operations at the site where you intend to carry out your business

Surety Bonds

Local & state governments usually need that licensed firms obtain surety bonds. It is like an insurance policy, ensuring the performance of obligations accepted by contract / necessitated by law

Local employment laws such as Minimum wage, Record keeping, Paid sick leaves, payroll taxation, employment benefits, paycheck delivery
