Plans for a Wal-Mart Supercenter are moving forward.
Wal-Mart wants to relocate on property at Ind. 15N and U.S. 30.
City Planner Jeff Noffsinger said Bob Petro, owner of Bruce Petro Olds, Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC, Inc., has filed a request to rezone the land south of his dealership from C3 (arterial, commercial and single family residency) to C5 (special commercial zoning).
The land, owned by Petro Family LLC, is approximately 56 acres.
"We have signed a purchase agreement," Bob Petro said.
"This ground is where Wal-Mart is proposing to locate," Noffsinger said.
"Our Wal-Mart engineers are working on the final site plans with input from the city," Wal-Mart store manager Gary Elders said.
He also said they have worked with the city on traffic studies and have made some modifications requested by the city. Elders said the first step is to get the land rezoned to C5.
"We have to get the rezoning done," Elders said.
Chris Danos, Wal-Mart's real estate manager for the Warsaw area, said they are currently submitting information and working with Warsaw.
"We are in preliminary plans of submitting to the city," Danos said. "I believe they're looking at the first quarter of 2001 (as) a tentative date (for groundbreaking.)
"That's based on engineering and the weather. It's a target date at this point," he said. [[In-content Ad]]
