Outstanding news. This is incremental forward progress for the new U.S 212 southwest corridor and the long time residents.

It is well understood that retail revenues will supplement local property taxes, however when you realize the small incremental reduction in local property taxes that Wal-Mart would have created as opposed to other vital and more complementary retail, you'll gladly pay the annual difference.

Now is the time for the folks in this area to really THINK about how do build a new city the RIGHT way, that can last for decades to come. How about integration of the new development into the old downtown for a start? Let's do the next right thing.

Wal-Mart officials have informed the city of Carver that they are withdrawing plans for a store in the town.

Last fall, Wal-Mart and property owner Mark Lano entered into a purchase agreement for 26.5 acres of farmland, near the County Road 147 and Highway 212 intersection. At Monday night’s Carver City Council meeting, Planner Cindy Olness announced that the company had withdrawn its plans.
