In addition to the restaurant, new parking, lighting, curbing and utilities are part of the proposed project. According to the proposal, vehicles would enter the Chick-fil-A property through a shared access road that connects to both Routes 250 and 441. "It is my understanding that the traffic study is forthcoming." The interior of the proposed eatery would seat nearly 75 people. The proposed project seeks to redevelop the property to construct the new restaurant, which would include a triple-lane drive-thru encircling the building and an outdoor patio that would seat 20 people. The 5.1-acre lot on the east side of Route 250 is currently vacant, though partially overrun with weeds.
