A proposal for Sunset Foods to replace Mariano's location in Northfield has reportedly collapsed. The Northfield Village Board is now reviewing the surrounding business district. The two companies, Swanson Development Group, owner of the former Mariano’s location, were unable to reach an agreement after several months of negotiations. The Village Manager, Patrick Brennan, stated that both parties are moving on. The village has also approved a temporary moratorium on new office-related uses in the village center business district and asked the village's plan and zoning commission to review zoning in the area.
