Chattanooga developer John Anderson said Monday that he plans to start construction on a $15 million grocery store complex in Walden.
Despite opposition to the proposed project, the Chattanooga-Hamilton Regional Planning Commission took no action on Monday after a review of conditions earlier put on the plan by Walden officials.
Walden had put 23 conditions on the project that is to go at Taft Highway and Timesville Road. The site for many years has held the Lines Orchids Greenhouse.
Walden attorney Sam Elliott said he expected to report on the Planning Commission meeting today when the town council gathers. But, he said, no action was expected by the panel tonight.
With zoning in place, the development group said it soon will begin clearing land at the tract, which is to hold a full-service grocery store, fuel station, retail, offices and a public park. Details for a groundbreaking ceremony and the name of the retailer will be announced in coming weeks, the company said.
