Orange County builder John Marcantoni has put forward an offer to build the Wilderness Walmart at a new, less impactful location on 75 acres along State Route 3 west of Lake of the Woods.
Can the argument that no other viable locations exist still be put forward?

Was in the vicinity a year ago for the Chancellorsville reenactment. I was dumfounded at the endless sea of strip malls already built from the highway out to the battlefield. TWO of the same brand of grocery store not five miles apart!! Surely there is some better place to put yet another Big Box monstrosity than a heritage area that so many ... Read Moresacrificed for. I hope and pray that the locals say enough! , no more traffic, no more light pollution,no more sound pollution, no more destruction of precious land we can never get back. How many places does one really need to shop??
