Victor gives Broulim's the green light

On May 26 the Victor City Council approved a request from Broulim’s to rezone the old elementary school property, which will enable the company to take the next step in the process of designing and building a grocery store with second-story apartments on the 2.5-acre lot on Center Street.

This came after three planning and zoning meetings in which the commissioners hammered out a series of conditions to put on the developer. The company, which submitted the winning bid of $600,000 to the school district last August for the former Victor Elementary School, sought to rezone the property from civic to commercial mixed-use. It was the third time since 2016 that Broulim’s has attempted to establish a store in Victor, but the first time that the application made it past P&Z.
