Grant County approves Wal-Mart plat and zoning
Grant County commissioners approved the rezoning and final plat for a Wal-Mart Supercenter site in Ulysses after a brief session. The action follows a Feb 21 request by SMC Consulting Engineers on Wal-Mart’s behalf for rezoning and annexation to support a 100,000 square foot store with city water services. The Ulysses City Council will address the issues at its March 12 meeting, with little public turnout and generally positive sentiment reported.
