This Week’s Wal-Mart Coverage

Here’s a link to this week’s Austin Chronicle coverage of the Northcross redevelopment project and their take on the Wednesday, February 21st meeting. In the article, "Developing Stories," Katherine Gregor reports that reactions to what was offered up by Lincoln Property and Wal-Mart amounted to crumbs. The City’s role, according to talking with Assistant City Manager, Laura Huffman, is to make sure the developer’s understands clearly the neighborhoods’s concerns and that their response to those concerns is on point. She acknowledged they did not reduce the size of the superscenter but did address a number of the other concerns.
