Menards' decision to delay Urbana store not a surprise

URBANA – Menards won't build a new home improvement store in Urbana next year.

City officials were told about the decision in recent weeks, and company spokesman Jeff Abbott confirmed it publicly.

"We have slowed the process (of development)," Abbott said. "We're going to build a store there, but we just don't know when."
