Excerpt: "The prospect of Wal-Mart construction this summer [2008] appears less and less likely...Wal-Mart would need to resubmit construction plans for the smaller store promptly in order to be underway during the summer’s dry weather.

Excerpt: "Meyer said he expects the plans by fall and that company officials say they want to be ready to bid out the plans next spring, in 2009. With construction generally taking 12 to 15 months, that would put a grand opening in 2010."
