SuperTarget again pursues Bloomington site
The company is moving to open a store in a neighborhood that fought the proposal before. Target will have to win over both city officials and residents. ... A year ago, about 300 residents attended a raucous informational meeting on the proposed store, and City Council members were bombarded with e-mails that mostly opposed the development. Since then, Target has held small meetings with residents in the area and hired a public relations firm to advance the project. City Council member Rod Axtell, who represents the ward where the new store would be built, said he's keeping an open mind on the project. So far, he said, public reaction to Target's formal application for redevelopment has been muted compared with last year. "Anytime you have someone willing to invest this type of money into this type of area, which is a bit ... aged, it's important to go through the hearing process," he said.
