CONWAY — The Conway Planning Board at last Thursday's meeting unanimously rejected a request from Walmart to change its North Conway store’s color scheme from brown to blue above the main entrance and a few other parts of the building’s exterior.
They took their vote after listening to a presentation outlining the reasons for the requested color scheme change made by Edward Danz of Massa Multimedia Architecture PC of Neptune, N.J.
