Walmart Returns to Table at Suburban Plaza

Walmart is back in the mix at Suburban Plaza.

The North Decatur Road shopping center's owner met with a local county community council recently with plans that included Walmart as the anchor store to a redeveloped shopping center, according to Clairmont Heights Civic Association.

According to a posting on the association's site, which also includes a map of the proposed redevelopment:

The plan has WalMart as an anchor. Other retailers were approached, but Walmart was apparently the only one with funding and interest.  Walmart has offered to place underground all of their parking spaces and to add extensive landscaping.

When North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch , it created a bit of a stir. There are a few fans of the multi-national retailer, but the majority of the comments seemed to oppose the opening a the store (and suggested public financing for that redevelopment recevied a chilly reception).

Still waiting for word back from Walmart. I'll update this post or post again once I do hear back.
