Too bad it comes with 6 -800 more people with the accompanying traffic in an already high (and going to be higher yet with the new Walmart!) area and with city service needs.

The commission voted to designate the parcel as a Brownfield area. The Brownfield designation gives businesses access to financial and regulatory incentives such as tax credits, loan guarantees and liablity protection.
