Fairlawn's Mayor William Roth has known for at least a month who wanted to buy the vacant land at the corner of West Market Street and Shiawassee Avenue, but he couldn't go on the record.
Now it's official: McDonald's wants to buy the parcels, making it the third of its kind on the same road. Click here to see a map of the locations.
According to the Akron Beacon Journal, plans for a 4,500-square-foot building will go before Planning Commission on Nov. 8.
Roth said the land used to belong to a gas station, but it has since been remediated by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
ABJ reports the builders expect to close the land deal in April.
Several of Fairlawn-Bath Patch's Facebook fans have sounded off on this development and say building a McDonald's is a bad idea, especially with one so close by.
Planning Commission will make the final approval of the plans at 5:30 on Nov. 8, and if you want to go in favor of or to oppose the plan there will be time for public speaking.
Are you excited for McDonald's to build? Or were you looking forward to something else being there? Tell us in the comments!

Several opinions were previously posted, yet there are none remaining. Is the slate cleaned daily?

What about the dry cleaners nearby there? Has there been any recent soil testing related to that? I'm concerned about disturbing soils so close to it.

If they plan to access McDs along Shiawassee, will it comply with sight distances along Shiawassee given the S-curve near Abington? traffic studies from increased traffic volumes? excess sound from drive thru? hours of operation? light pollution from sign?
