Raleigh Residential Real Estate – Debate on Knightdale Growth – What some Knightdale Home Owners are doing.

One of the things the Poling Team likes to do in our Raleigh Residential Real Estate blog is keep readers informed about issues involving growth in the local real estate market. Today’s blog will focus briefly on Knightdale, NC.

With all the new Growth and Development in Knightdale, some growing pains surfaced with the decision of the Knightdale Town Board to rezone a site off of Highway 64 for a new Super Wal-Mart this past year. This week the issue went to the North Carolina Court of Appeals.

Local residents went to court to block the building of the new Wal-Mart so close to the Timber Ridge and Widewater Village subdivisions.

“The suit claims the town did not properly notify residents about the rezoning and that one of the council members who voted in favor of the project had a conflict of interest.”
 
The suit was denied by a Superior Court Judge last spring.

“Thursday, a panel of three, Judges John Tyson, Barbara Jackson, and John Arrowood, heard the case without oral argument. They were scheduled to look over briefs and documents submitted by both sides of the case.
 
A decision is expected to come down in about 90 days.”

It is not unusual for the proposal of a new Wal-Mart to cause controversy. There is a national push to stop Wal-Mart and it often brings high emotions to the issue of grow and development. One internet website dedicated to stopping Wal-Mart is http://walmartwatch.com/
