The Village Board of Saranac Lake, NY, puts off further environmental review for a proposed Wal-Mart supercenter that is looking to have residential land re-zoned to accommodate the 110,000 square foot store. Residents are divided on brining in large scale retail, and also preserving the businesses in Saranac lake.
