SOUTH CAROLINA SITE FIGHT: GROUP DROPS SUIT
Neighborhood Group Drops Wal-Mart-Related Suits [WYFF-TV (Greenville, S.C.)]
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C.—Some folks living along Pelham Road have dropped their against two state departments to try to stop “big box” stores from being built in the area.
The neighborhood group is called the Pelham Corridor Property Owners’ Alliance. The group filed the suits last year against the Department of Transportation and the Department of Health and Environmental Control. They were specifically trying to stop a developer’s plan to build a Wal-Mart store off Pelham Road and Boiling Springs Road.
The lawsuit was aimed at forcing the DOT and the Department of Health and Environmental Control to conduct studies on the potential impact on traffic and the environment.
Court documents show that the lawsuit was dismissed last month when the group agreed not to pursue it.
The attorney for the developers said the project is moving forward according to their plans.
