Just announced by the Civil War Trust; Preservation community pleased with decision by retail giant to drop plans to build a supercenter within historic boundaries of Wilderness battlefield (Orange, Va.) - In an unexpected development, Walmart announced this morning that it has abandoned plans to pursue a special use permit previously awarded to the retail giant for construction of a supercenter on the Wilderness Battlefield. The decision came as the trial in a legal challenge seeking to overturn the special use permit was scheduled to begin in Orange County circuit court. "We are pleased with Walmart's decision to abandon plans to build a supercenter on the Wilderness battlefield," remarked James Lighthizer, president of the Civil War Trust. "We have long believed that Walmart would ultimately recognize that it is in the best interests of all concerned to move their intended store away from the battlefield. We applaud Walmart officials for putting the interests of historic preservation first. Sam Walton would be proud of this decision." |

Keep those cards and letters coming. In areas where this is happening, letters to local governments do help, even from out of the local area. Tourism is important to many areas. |
