Group loses appeal to keep Walmart from Suburban Plaza

A community group battling to keep Walmart from opening a supercenter in Suburban Plaza just north of Decatur recently lost a local appeal on the issue.

The DeKalb Zoning Board of Appeals last week rejected Good Growth DeKalb’s contention that the county violated its own ordinances in giving Walmart a building permit for the project.

The 149,0000-square foot project can now move forward, unless the group files a lawsuit that could delay work.
