Rock Island Mayor Dennis Pauley told WQAD News 8 on Wednesday, March 16, 2016, Walmrt is requesting changes to the Watchtower Plaza property, where it's proposing to build a super store.

Pauley says the changes are minor. The company wants to put up signs and parking lot lights on the property. Pauley says the company wants to put up signs on both the east and west sides of the property, because people will be able to get into the site from 9th Street or 11th Street, near 39th Avenue.

So far, plans to bring a store to the city have been slow moving. It's been four years since plans for the superstore were first announced.

Pauley says the city's zoning commission will consider the changes at its meeting April 13, 2016.
