Recent information delivered to the Weekly offices notes the discussion of resolution 3937 at the recent City Commission meeting on April 21:
RESOLUTION NO. 3937 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LIVINGSTON, MONTANA, AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH MARGIE JESSON FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN A PORTION OF SECTION 21 AND 22 OF TOWNSHIP 2 SOUTH, RANGE 9 EAST, M.P.M.
The above resolution refers to landowners Margie and John Jesson, currently in possession of 40 acres subject to the new zoning classification. According to Weekly sources, the Jessons have an informal contract with Wal-Mart for seven million dollars if the property is annexed by the city and zoned commercial. If an annexation agreement is reached between the City and the Jessons, the city will most likely have a a series of meetings to formally annex and zone the property.
These annexation and zoning meetings will be a chance for citizens to comment on the proposed development on a site near the 1-90 exit less than five miles west of Livingston. Citizens interested in the outcome of this development are encouraged to contact the City of Livingston offices at (406) 222-2005 for more information regarding the upcoming meeting.
The Weekly will continue to provide the community with updates regarding the developing story. The landowners in this issue, the Jessons, were unavailable for comment at the time of this posting.
The people looking forward to 7 million dollars think you need it. It's the same story over and over.

Who really wants a WalMart here? And do we really need one? I mean honestly- the MASSIVE store that already exists 20 minutes from here is plenty, thanks.
