An alliance of New Berlin residents sued to reverse city approval of a Walmart supercenter on West Greenfield Avenue. The lawsuit, filed last week, argues New Berlin officials did not provide a required public notice 30 days before a January Plan Commission meeting where the Walmart was discussed. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of seven nearby residents and an organization called Neighbors First New Berlin against the city of New Berlin and Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust. The Walmart is proposed at undeveloped land at West Greenfield Avenue and South Moorland Road that has been listed for sale since 2010. It is west of the Highland Memorial Park cemetery. The lawsuit includes several examples of residents who argue the project will disrupt area wildlife and generate traffic, additional light and more noise. One example is Bernice Berth, who for 50 years has lived between the cemetery and the proposed Walmart site.

Cicero officials have taken the next, and one of the final steps, in bringing a Walmart store to the community. The Town Board unanimously authorized President Larry Dominick to enter into a real estate business trust agreement with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on behalf of the town of Cicero when it met June 11, 2013. Th action is basically an easement agreement between the town and Wal-Mart to purchase town property at the former Sportsman's Park racetrack near the 3400 block of South Cicero Avenue, and build a 190,000 square-foot Walmart supercenter on 24.6 acres on the site. The cost of the site was $7.5 million. The western half of the former Sportsman's Park property is home to Wirtz Beverage Group. Wal-Mart was expected to close on the property June 11, 2013. The city is expected to formally hand over title to the property on June 18, 2013. Wal-Mart plans to build two outlets on the property for smaller retail businesses, primarily restaurants. The presence of Wal-Mart will benefit the business community as a whole through the customers it draws into the area. Construction is expected to begin July 2013, with the store opening in 2014.
