Ok, a few days back I posted an article that stated with some enthusiasm that Target is Coming! Well now we see that might not be the case.

In a December 10th blog post on AL.com (actually the day before my aforementioned post) a question is posed whether this was a concept or reality. So AL.com contacted Cole Walker of Walker Family Properties, the developer of the project. In the “interview” Walker says, “…the preliminary site plan…that has circulated recently is “a concept only[.]” He goes on to state that the plan was prepared for a Texas developer (Merchants Holding Company, LLC), “interested in a joint venture…with the developers[.]” (see the full article here)

Despite his statements in the most recent article, the site plan does seem to be consistent with Mr. Walker’s previous concepts for the development. In a November 11th interview by Marian Accardi published in the Huntsville Times (and here on AL.com) Mr. Walker outlines his dream for the property, all of which are included in the site plan.

So the question remains, is Target coming? I’ll guess we’ll have to wait and see.
