Looks like Big Rapids is one step closer in getting a new Wendy's Resturant.

 

The Big Rapids Planning Commission approved a site plan from engineering company Fishbeck, which would demolish the current Wendy's Drive-thru Restaurant at 614 S. State Street and construct a new building.

Emily Szymanski of Big Rapids Community Development says the new plan addresses past problems with the property.

 

“The site plan includes doing a complete demolition of the current Wendy's restaurant and rebuild it.” Szymanski said. “It also addresses current problems with the drive-thru like traffic congestion and stuff like that.”

 

The Planning Commission approved the plan, it now goes to the Big Rapids City Commission for final approval.
