The battle in Walden over a supermarket isn’t finished, said a member of a citizens group that successfully fought an earlier proposal for a grocery store in the town.
“They haven’t submitted an application for a supermarket. What are they going to do about all the important issues?” asked Joe Davis of the Mountain Planning Group as he listed such concerns as wastewater, stormwater runoff, traffic and the geology of the site, in a phone interview.
Next month, the Walden board is slated to review a proposal to amend an existing zoning ordinance related to a potential town center. Approval could help move the grocery project forward at Taft Highway and Timesville Road after years of wrangling.
