UPDATE 8/3/10 @ 9:15 p.m.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- While it has been talked about for years, a new Wal-Mart store in Quincy may be a reality sooner than later.

Construction on the new Wal-Mart could start earlier than expected. The architectural firm working on the project told the Kanawha County Planning Commission on Tuesday that bids on the project could go out next month.

That means construction at the site could start in December and be completed by September 2011.

The new store will be located beside Riverside High School. It is expected to cost nearly $7 million to build.



ORIGINAL STORY 6/20/10
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Kanawha County is expected to get a new
Wal-Mart by 2011.

An architectural firm representing Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has notified the Kanawha County Planning Commission that work on the Quincy Walmart is due to start by the end of the year. It would be built on a 119-acre lot next to Riverside High School in eastern Kanawha County.

The $7 million, 185,000-square-foot store is expected to open by October 2011. Besides the store, the Walmart is expected to include
a Subway restaurant, hair salon and other businesses.

Wal-Mart is the state's largest private-sector employer with more than 12,000 workers.
