The long battle over the development of Suburban Plaza has hit the latest milestone: A superior court judge in DeKalb County ruled Oct. 31 Selig Enterprises' planned project can go ahead.
The redevelopment plan for Suburban Plaza, which includes bringing a Walmart Supercenter is to proceed as originally planned.
Suburban Plaza, an old development, is just outside the Decatur city limits at Church Street, North Decatur Road and Scott Boulevard.
A local neighborhood group, Good Growth DeKalb, filed suit arguing the county erred in granting a permit to Selig Enterprises to build the Walmart.
Judge Tangela Barrie disagreed and ruled against the plaintiffs.
"We are currently discussing the order with our legal team and considering all of our legal options," Louise Runyon, Good Growth DeKalb's co-chairwoman wrote in an e-mail to Decatur-Avondale Estates Patch. "We will let you know when we know more."
