California: Initiative use by Walmart to expand store
Walmart will again try to expand its Milpitas store by nearly 18,460 square feet to allow liquor sales, groceries and 24-hour operation, according to documents filed today. Walmart filed its intent to hold a 180-day signature-gathering campaign today to bring about a ballot initiative for special election this fall, countering Milpitas City Council’s rejection of the same project last year. “Our goal with the proposed remodel and expansion is to offer a better shopping experience, create additional jobs, and generate tax revenues for the city,” Angie Stoner, Walmart’s senior manager of public affairs, said today.
