The Mellody Farm subdivision is currently vacant farmland that could be turned into 260 apartments and 265,000 square feet of retail space across from Hawthorn Mall, according to the story.
Vernon Hills assistant village manager Joe Carey said he has not received any paperwork from Kuma's Corner, but has heard a lot about the company and thinks it would be a positive addition to the village's restaurant scene.
