NORTH CONWAY—Plans have been approved to level Mount Washington to make way for a new Target Supercenter.
“Brown and Root Contracting is happy to help shoppers in the state of New Hampshire by removing an impediment like Mount Washington and replacing it with convenient merchandise displayed under the finest fluorescent lights available,” said a spokesman for Brown & Root.
The new store will offer 20 square miles of products available at Wal-Mart, only kitschier.
A Target spokesperson added “North Conway’s economy needs a place that offers commercials peppier than Wal-Mart’s, yet not as annoying as Old Navy's.”
Target is expected to employ up to 200 people who are fed up with their jobs at Wal-Mart, Home Depot or Lowe's.
Planning board members pooh-poohed environmentalists who have expressed concern over demolishing a landmark like Mount Washington, explaining that getting rid of the mountain will improve everyone’s view. “That mountain has been in the way for some years now,” planning board member Rich N. Retiyerd said, “and it’s high time we did something about it.”
Blasting is expected to begin once skiing at Tuckerman Ravine has ended.
Target's spokesperson added, “Now that this has been approved, we’re looking to build a Sam’s Club on the future former site of Mount Chocorua.”
