Wal-mart makes its case for Canfield Township

CANFIELD — Township residents and the zoning board got to hear Wal-Mart representatives make their case Thursday for a zone change to build a super center with a grocery store.

The company is considering applying for a zone change for land behind Taco Bell and the old Harley Davidson location on U.S. Route 224.

It would build the store on 27.5 acres that belong to Gene Russo. Fourteen of those acres are now zoned residential, said township zoning officer Dave Morrison.

Wal-Mart might request they be rezoned to business.
