Lakeshore Council have the green light for the project

The Town of Lakeshore is officially welcoming another fast food location.

Council has approved this week the site plan for a McDonald's restaurant on County Road 22, just west of Belle River.

The fast food restaurant, with a drive thru and 24-hour service, also includes a new gas station and car wash with a convenience store on the same property.

Mayor Tom Bain calls it exciting for the municipality.

"For Lakeshore to have a McDonalds here, there's been a lot of people requesting to bring in a fast food chain and I think we're going to be able to do that,"he says.

There were some concerns from residents but Bain tells CTV Windsor those issues will be resolved.

"On working with the residents and working with the owner of McDonalds that they've met a lot of those noise concerns such as putting up retention walls and doing a number of things as far as noise goes, as far as traffic control goes," he says.

Construction is expected to begin in the fall, but no word yet on when the restaurant will open.
