"After meetings with
County Executive John R. Leopold and property owner
William Berkshire, a spokesman for the retail giant noted that despite
making several concessions, "it has become clear to us that there are
various views about a project of this size and scope at this specific
site and its relationship to the County's long-term development
profile."
"We
felt, therefore, that it is in the best interest of all to withdraw
our pending site development plan," Brian Hopper, a Wal-Mart official,
said in a statement."
