Lockport, NY: Wal-Mart Delayed Again

Action again delayed on permits for Wal-Mart

LOCKPORT — There is another delay in action on permits needed for Wal- Mart to construct its supercenter project at the Lockport Mall site on South Transit Road.

Town Attorney Daniel E. Seaman said Wednesday that a special Planning Board meeting set for next Thursday to vote on the project has been canceled. Town Planner Andrew C. Reilly of the Wendel Duchscherer firm has a meeting in another town that night.

Seaman said another date for a special Planning Board meeting is being discussed. The delay means the Zoning Board of Appeals will not be able to act on Wal-Mart’s variance requests at its session Oct. 30, so the soonest final approval of the supercenter project can come is late November.
