SNOW HILL – County staff reviewed plans last week for a Hardee’s restaurant proposed near Samuel Bowen Boulevard.
The Worcester County Technical Review Committee last Wednesday considered plans for a Hardees in the area in front of Home Depot in Berlin. Developers are reviewing project feasibility at this point.
“We haven’t committed to a purchase contract yet,” said Fred Mattes of OTAC Inc, a Hardee’s franchisee with various locations.
Mattes told the committee that the primary issue with potential development of the site was a proposed access point on Kreiling Way (the short road connecting the four-way stop in front of Walmart to Route 50) which was a concern for the Maryland State Highway Administration as it was too close to Route 50. He said he’d talked to officials there though and was working on an alternative access that the agency could approve. Mattes asked the other county departments participating in Wednesday’s meeting if they had any issues with the Hardee’s concept proposed.
“We just want to be sure we’re not going to run into any roadblocks,” he said.
Taken long enough…
Been THREE decades since Hardees left OC proper (94th shopping center) – when things were much simpler.
Really ? We need a Hardees ?
Just what we need…………another greasy burger joint.
