If a business evolves into something we don't like, then blocking it is perfectly viable." I like Wal-Mart, but I don't like your employer or any company that employs any of your family or friends. So I guess we should ban those employers too. more ›

Route 59.

City unanimously approves tax incentive, which allows for retailer to relocate and develop a new 170,000 square-foot Walmart Supercenter near 75th Street and Beebe Drive.
Naperville City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday night to adopt a resolution that will give Walmart a sales tax incentive to relocate within the city. Under the incentive, Walmart receives a sales tax rebate of $1.75 million over the course of 10 years. This would allow the retailer to close their current Naperville location, 776 S. Route 59, to develop a new 170,000 square-foot Walmart Supercenter at the southeast corner of 75th Street and Beebe Drive. The proposed supercenter will be 50,000 square-feet larger and will also include a grocery. City Council members said approving the resolution was necessary to keep Walmart in Naperville as the retailer had plans to move their new store to Aurora if they did not receive the sales …
