"After eight years of delays in attempting to develop the Mission Gateway project at Johnson Drive and Roe Avenue, developer Tom Valenti said he's not making any more promises.
But he's not giving up either, Valenti insisted during a breakfast meeting held Friday to update Mission residents on the Gateway and Johnson Drive reconstruction projects.
Valenti did say that a proposed 150,000-square-foot Walmart store, which replaced an aquarium as the project's anchor tenant in 2012, remained committed to the project and wasn't in jeopardy. But while he acknowledged that Walmart's lease could be voided if Gateway isn't developed by a certain date, Valenti would not say what that deadline is."
