Wal-Mart will not open a store at Steelyard Commons, dealing a serious blow to the huge shopping center proposed for Cleveland.
Wal-Mart announced its decision in a letter sent Monday to city leaders. The decision comes as City Council worked on a bill to prevent a supercenter -- complete with a full-service grocery store -- from opening at the Steelyard Commons before 2013. The site is west of the International Steel Group mill.
