On October 16, the Hadley Planning Board decided to wait another month before voting on whether or not to approve the subdivision plans that would exempt the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter from Hadley’s retail building size limit of 75,000 square feet. (The Supercenter would be 212,000 square feet). The next scheduled date for the subdivision vote is November 20th.
Also on October 16, the Board accepted Wal-Mart’s request to postpone for a third time the continuation of the Supercenter site plan hearing, from November 20, 2007 to January 15, 2008. The hearing began in August 2005, and three different site plan options were presented in June 2006. The Board asked Wal-Mart not to return until a single plan could be presented.
