Wheeling will give a real estate developer more than $2 million to build a small shopping center on Dundee Road.
The center, which has a nearly $11 million projected price tag, will be built on vacant land between Elmhurst Road and the recently built Wheeling Township Elementary District 21 headquarters. Chris Coleman, vice president of development for the Wingspan Development Group, told trustees on Monday that his company primarily is seeking food- and beverage-service businesses for the center."We're in very long discussions with a ... provider of hot beverages that you drink in the morning," Coleman said, eliciting chuckles from some board members."We'll see if we can get those guys across the finish line.
Although Wingspan is developing the center, the incentive agreement is with an Arizona-based limited liability company called Thompson Peak 4.
