Business
Fallston mostly consists of farms or residential housing. There is, though a strip of Belair Road (Rt 1) running through the south-east side of the town (technically outside of Fallston proper, in an area once known as 'Benson'). This part of Fallston is packed with much business. As of early 2007, plans for a construction of a Walmart Super Store and other businesses were planned. It was not until mid 2007 that this massive project was undertaken and given a name, 'Fallston Commons'. It covers a mass of over 800 acres (3.2 km2). The construction will be a boulevard, consisting of two parallel roads running side-by-side. Approximately 300 senior citizen town homes will be build in addition to an assisted living retirement home. Besides the Walmart Super Store, a Starbucks, and a Wendy's will be built in addition to numerous other businesses. Walmart is funding the massive project and will turn part of Belair Road into a six-lane highway and will add four new intersections and stop lights to assist in managing the traffic. The end date for the project is estimated to be at late 2008 to early 2009.
