The city-parish planning commission is set to vote today on plans for a Sam’s Club at Cortana Mall and a commercial horse stable on Hoo Shoo Too Road. The Sam’s Club, which would be built at the intersection of Cortana Place and Airway Drive, would be a 136,000-square-foot store with general merchandise, grocery and fuel pumps. Walmart officials hope to have the store open by spring-summer 2011; it would eventually replace the Sam’s Club on Airline Highway. The project has been recommended by planning staffers. Commission staffers have recommended approving the Encore Equestrian Farms at the intersection of Hoo Shoo Too and Elliot roads. The development would be built on a nearly 10-acre tract.
