Walmart Midtown Gets Green Light From City

MIAMI—Walmart is on a South Florida roll. Just days after getting approval from the City of Hollywood to take up residence in an abandoned mall the retailing giant is winning the right to move forward with its Midtown Miami project.

The Miami City Commission unanimously rejected an appeal to the Midtown Walmart Class 2 Permit last week. The vote marked the city’s final review for the project and gives the green light for the retail development to move forward. Although a chance remains that opponents will take their grievance to court, it was the final decision from the city in the matter.
