After a few years of legal battles between preservationists of the Battle of the Wilderness and Wal Mart, ground is broken Tuesday morning on a super center on Route 3 in Orange County.
Supervisor Chairman Teel Goodwin says the supervisors came up with a number of goals for the county and Wal Mart would play a part.
The supercenter comes after preservationists went to court to challenge Wal-Mart's original plan to build the store near the Battle of the Wilderness. All parties involved eventually agreed on the site further west from the battlefield on Route 3.
