Menards, the third-largest home improvement dealer in North America, plans to develop and construct a 60-home subdivision next to its new store in this town, located between Fort Wayne and South Bend, Ind. The Eau Claire, Wis.-based retailer's attorney, Garrett Caffee, told the Associated Press that new-home construction would benefit Menards in several ways: It encourages growth in the community, sales of building materials, and its relationship with local builders and contractors.
