Wal-Mart seals the deal on D&M rail yard property

I've been looking for news regarding the construction of the new Wal-Mart on the former Detroit & Mackinac railyard. The best I turned up was an update on the track bypass construction from the Lake State Railway fan site -- apparently the track is down and the ballest is dumped on top. The track still needs to be cut in at both ends to the old main.

Back on April 7 the Iosco News reported that Wal-Mart seals the deal on D&M rail yard property

The building project is scheduled to be put out for bids by Wal-Mart June 1, according to Huber. It typically takes nine to 10 months to complete the SuperCenter stores. Work on the building is expected to begin in late June during the first week of July, Huber added. City officials anticipate the existing buildings at the former railyard will be demolished within the next month. [As of yesterday, they were still standing]
