As of this writing, the biggest news of the week for our area could be a Wednesday hearing in the Missouri Court of Appeals over a lawsuit filed last year claiming that the city of Ellisville improperly granted a conditional use permit for the proposed Walmart project.
Walmart failed in an attempt to get an extension last week on that permit, set to expire September 5. Representatives for the retailer, the developer and the attorney suing the city over the permit wouldn't commit to what might happen if either side is successful at the appeals court level.
