Zionsville, IN. Says “NO” to Wal-Mart
Zionsville planners nix Wal-Mart [Indianapolis Star (Ind.)]
Wal-Mart might not be coming to Zionsville after all.
The Zionsville Plan Commission on Monday unanimously rejected Wal-Mart’s plan to build a 185,000-square-foot superstore at 11000 Michigan Road, citing traffic, drainage and crime issues.
AdvertisementThe decision comes two years after the board denied the retail giant’s petition, setting off a legal battle. Wal-Mart spokesman Jason Wetzel said he was surprised and disappointed by Monday’s decision but refused to say whether further legal action would be considered.
Some Zionsville officials and many residents didn’t want Wal-Mart in Zionsville, saying the big box store didn’t fit the character of the village. But some residents said they would welcome the convenience of the store.
