Wal-Mart Shifts Focus To North Hills [KDKA TV 2]
(KDKA) ROSS TOWNSHIP With Wal-Mart scrapping its plans to build a store in Kilbuck Township, has the retailer set its sights on setting up shop in the North Hills?
The company already owns the land where Sam’s Club and Chi-Chi’s were located along McKnight Road. But Wal-Mart still has some major hurdles to clear.
Ross Township Commissioner Grace Stanko says surveys show that most residents don’t welcome the store. She thinks traffic could be a problem.
To get a highway occupancy permit, Wal-Mart must convince PennDOT that McKnight Road could handle the additional traffic generated by the super store. Jim Foringer, assistant district executive for PennDOT, says Wal-Mart is in the process of conducting a traffic impact study.
Jim Davis, a spokesperson for Wal-Mart, confirmed the chain is considering the McCrackin space.

I want to know if Wal Mart intends to fix the damage done to the previous site in Kilbuck or if they are planning to just walk away and allow the hillside they dynamited to continue to fall onto Route 65.
