MELFORT— A building permit has been signed for a new McDonalds in Melfort.
The permit has been issued for the land purchased by McDonalds in the StoneGate Shopping Centre development during 2017.
“That would indicate they’re in the next phase of the process as far as development goes with the city,” said Ryan Danberg, Melfort's administrator.
The next step for McDonalds would be to submit their plans and have them approved by city administration.
“Everything is falling into line as far as process goes and I would expect them to be out with an announcement that they are going to be starting construction this spring,” Danberg said.
Danberg said it could take anywhere from eight to 10 months from the building permit being signed to an opening.
