Redevelopment Plan Brings Chick-fil-A Step Closer To Cinnaminson

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Cinnaminson Township Committee took what Committeeman Ryan Horner called a “crucial step” in the process to bring Chick-fil-A to the township Monday night.

Township Committee approved a proposed ordinance on introduction to adopt a redevelopment plan for a parcel of land on Route 130 South when it met Monday night at the municipal building.

The fast food chain would set up shop down the street from Lidl. In February, the township entered into a memorandum of understanding with Delco Development to build the restaurant, which is one of the largest chicken restaurant chains in the country.

Founded in 1946 as the Dwarf Grill and headquartered just outside Atlanta, Georgia, Chick-fil-A has nearly 2,000 locations across the United States. The public hearing and final vote on the proposal is scheduled for the Sept. 20 meeting.

The redevelopment plan is introduced as Cinnaminson brings a number of high-profile businesses into the township. In addition to Chick-fil-A and Lidl, Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen and Tim Horner's Coffee and Bake Shop have received approval from the Cinnaminson Planning Board to move into the former Triboro Motors Site at Route 130 South and Taylor's Lane.

Township Committee on Monday night also gave final approval to a zoning amendment that specifies that "any use not expressly permitted is prohibited" under township zoning code. Both votes were unanimous.
