LEANDER, TX-H-E-B Grocery Co. is dropping plans to build a supermarket near the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and FM 2243.

A planned public hearing on a rezoning request for land has been canceled after some residents expressed concerns about flooding and environmental damage from the proposed construction, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
