City Council passes ordinance and permit for development at former Hubble school site.
Wheaton City Council on Monday approved a zoning ordinance and a permit for a planned unit development (PUD) at the former Hubble school property, where developers plan to build a Mariano's Fresh Market.

Bradford Equities begins its site analyzation at the old Hubble school property to determine costs, and permitting and zoning requirements.
One week after District 200 accepted the $5,000,200 offer on the old Hubble school property, Bradford Equities, LLC has taken advantage of its land control and commenced detailed analyses of the 22.6-acre site. Under the terms of the Hubble sale, Bradford has seven months to obtain the necessary permits and zoning required to bring the planned Mariano’s Fresh Market to the site before closing the deal.
