LOCUST GROVE — Wal-Mart is rejecting another proposed alternative site for a planned Supercenter in Orange County that has angered Civil War battlefield preservationists.
The latest offer comes from Mansour Azimipour (man-SURH' aah-ZEE'-mah-poor), president and CEO of A&K Development Corp. He said his property two miles from the Wilderness battlefield is zoned commercially and ready for development.
But Wal-Mart spokesman Keith Morris said that site was evaluated by the retailer before it selected its site in Locust Grove. He said no other nearby site tops Wal-Mart's final selection on Route 3.
That site has stirred protests by historic preservationists, who contend it is too close to the Wilderness battlefield.
