ELFERS – Opponents of a Wal-Mart Supercenter proposed for Grand Boulevard and State Road 54 will ask county commissioners on Tuesday to throw out plans for the project and make the retailer start again.

Somerset County officials have identified a federal depot in Hillsborough and the Adesa car auction property in Manville as potential commercial freight “nodes,” centers where rail and truck traffic can intersect. In Manville, the auction property adjoins a rail yard that could simplify transfer of freight, according to county planner Walter Lane. With a recent history of floods that submerge portions of the cur rent causeway north across the river, a flood-free connection “also could help in the town with evacuations in case of emergency,” Lane said. The county has targeted Chimney Rock, already a route for commercial traffic, for an interchange just to the north at Route 22. Meanwhile, the Duke Farms Foundation has suggested replac ing Dukes Parkway West with a new connector to Brown Avenue, which is hardly more than a turn-in on Route 206 just north of the depot, Lane said. read more  Read more...
