Walmart Backs out in the Falls

Update: Here is a Journal Sentinel story on this.

Walmart is no longer interested in building a new store in Menomonee Falls, according to The Business Journal.

Read the story here. From it:

On Jan. 4, the Menomonee Falls Plan Commission unanimously opposed a request by Gatlin to rezone a site at West Lisbon and Pilgrim roads for a 115,000-square-foot Walmart. Fitzgerald said he’s not sure if Gatlin plans to bring the rezoning request back later or if it’s giving up on the proposal, which faced heavy criticism from Menomonee Falls residents. Lisa Nelson, a regional spokeswoman for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., said the company is taking a fresh look at the site based on feedback from neighbors and the village.

I don’t really have much of an update on the Walmart proposed locally. We are still awaiting submittal of a formal site plan, and environmental studies of the site on North Chicago Avenue continue.

I will keep you posted.
