Public Hearing On Reading McDonald's Rebuild Coming Up
A proposal calls for the Main Street restaurant to be razed and rebuilt with a dual-lane drive through.
READING, MA — A rebuild of a Reading McDonald's restaurant will be on the Planning Board's agenda Oct. 6. A public hearing was scheduled for earlier this week but was continued without discussion, according to Community Development Director Andrew MacNichol.
McDonald's plans to rebuild its Main Street restaurant and add a second drive-through lane. Reading's Zoning Board of Appeals approved special permits allowing the drive-through along with digital menu boards at a recent meeting.
The redevelopment would involve razing the 3,400-square-foot restaurant and rebuilding it with a modern aesthetic.
