Bye Bye Walmart

With the option to buy expiring tomorrow, it seems that the county Board of Supervisors has decided to pass on buying the old Walmart building in Greenport, even though it appears that this decision was not made by a vote of the entire board in an officially noticed public meeting. The news is reported in today's Register-Star, complete with extensive quotes from BOS chair Pat Grattan, former BOS chair Roy Brown, Clermont supervisor Ray Staats, and Hudson Fifth Ward supervisor Rick Scalera: "No time left for Walmart option."
