FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM)- Walmart is working to get one step closer to building a Neighborhood Market in South Fayetteville. Tuesday (Dec. 16) the city council plans to discuss and most likely vote on whether to rezone part of the property.
The location Walmart wants to build is on Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard between South School and Hill Avenue.
If built, it would be a 40,000 square foot building, with a deli and pharmacy and create 95 jobs.
Adella Gray, city council member, said she expects a vote to happen tonight on the rezoning issue. A section of the property is industrial and Walmart wants it changed to commercial.
In its design, the company added some amenities after some people who live near the property said they wanted it more eco-friendly.
"They have pulled the sidewalks back from the street, they have a good green space between the sidewalk and the street and they have trees," Gray said.
