According to todays online article it seems as if Blairsville City Council approved plans for water system to serve Walmart.

Sounds pretty much like a done deal to me:

Stick a fork in that deal because it's done. Passersby in B'ville will notice the heavy equipment has already moved in and construction is underway as far as getting the land suitable for the actual build. Doesn't look like much space from 76 for a Supercenter and I would imagine other retailers. My beloved wife is ready to pull her hair out over this as we are now literally 1 minute from it. So much for getting out of the city

Oh yeah...anybody want to buy a house with now a great view of Lake Nottely and did I mention within close to spitting distance of this new Wal-Mart - our house was already for sale before this news.

Can't stop progress. No progress, no jobs.

It will be nice to see the increased competition.

Really need the jobs in the area...hope it'll help out people in construction around here and retail jobs after...the real trick is how to make money off walmart...
