Taos rejects Wal-Mart with 4-0 land-use vote
Taos Town Council unanimously adopted a land-use code capping building size at 80,000 square feet, blocking the proposed 183,645 square foot Wal-Mart Supercenter. Officials warned the town could lose nearly $1 million in gross receipts, jeopardize bonding capacity, and risk 17 jobs if Wal-Mart relocates. Community supporters praised the outcome while opponents vowed to continue the fight.
