Wal-Mart’s Plan For Northcross Mall Approved [KEYE-TV (Austin, Texas)]

CBS 42) AUSTIN Despite outcries from neighbors in the area, Wal-Mart will go in at Northcross Mall, at Anderson and Burnet.

Wal-Mart announced Tuesday that the city of Austin approved its site plan.

Among the concessions, Wal-Mart says it will close the store from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., design delivery routes to keep trucks off residential streets and reduce the size of the store by 28,000 to 192,000 square feet.

An anti-Wal-Mart group says the big box store is ignoring neighborhood concerns.
