I received feedback from non-other than Cornelius's City Manager Dave Waffle, himself! I'd solicited feedback from the city as to the content of my site.
In Mr. Waffle's email response he shared that "[Cornelius is] expecting Wal-Mart's developer to drop off the construction plans any day now." He also added, "Of course we've expected that for many monthes also."
Commentary: From what I've read, I think the developer is PACLand, apparently the 'go to' construction firm for Wal-Mart in the PacNW.
I'd previously posted that the Cornelius Wal-Mart was proposed to be 204,000 sq.ft...initially I believe it was. Since then the plans have been reduced down to 154,000+. Something about having to change from a storm water detention system, to surface-runoff system with a natural system [which takes up planned surface area].

I saw the article in the FG News Times. Nice to see the support for Wal-Mart. My family and I also support Wal-Mart and cannot wait for it to open. I too am a Florida transplant and miss having a Wal-Mart close. I'll keep an eye on the blog and look forward to the future.
ReplyDeleteWhy people want to work for Wal-Mart.
