KENTUCKY SITE FIGHT - Victory!

Wal-Mart withdraws application [The Cincinnati Enquirer]

Wal-Mart has withdrawn its application to build a Supercenter at the intersection of U.S. 42 and Weaver Road.

Wal-Mart representatives sent Boone County Planning Commission a letter late Wednesday afternoon asking to pull the application.

Planning Commission was set to vote on a zone change for the store at 7 p.m. tonight.

Wal-Mart spokesman Jason Wetzel said the store needs more time to work out the details of building dual left turn lanes on U.S. 42. He did not know how long it would be until Wal-Mart resubmits its application.
