People started talking about it a year ago saying it was supposed to be completed by now...I haven't seen the first inch of concrete busted at the proposed site.

The Chinese Inn at 2341 S Range Ave. that has been closed about six years will make way for a new 5,000-square-foot Chick-fil-A operating right across the street from competitor Raising Canes. Durbin expects a September or October opening.

They had problems with how they wanted the entrance to the parking lot. It will be a 2014 construction beginning and opening.

Here's the article in the Livingston News.
quote:

DENHAM SPRINGS — Work should begin soon on construction of a location for a popular fast food chain that plans to open on Range Avenue.

Denham Springs Mayor Jimmy Durbin said Tuesday that the plans for a Chick-fil-A at the site of the old Chinese Inn will move into gear by early next year.

“Yes, it’s going to happen,” he said. “It’s just a matter of ironing out the technicalities, and that should be done by the end of the year.”

The fast food chain – based in the Atlanta suburb of College Park, Ga. – announced plans earlier this year to open in the high-traffic area on Range, just north of Rushing Road.

But representatives from the fast food chain first had to find common ground on the full entrance and exit from Range Avenue.

“They have been approved for full ingress-egress (entry and exit) on Range Avenue,” Durbin said.

The state Department of Transportation and Development initially wanted to improve a “right in, right out only” system for Range.

Representatives from Chick-fil-A appealed the DOTD ruling, but Durbin said he went to bat for the fast food chain.

The DOTD has since agreed to a full entrance – left in/left out, right in/right out, he said.

“It was great that we could accomplish that,” Durbin said.

The DOTD is still mulling over a request for an entrance off Rushing Road, just past the Subway standalone restaurant.

“That would be an exit only, not an entrance,” Durbin said. “That’s something DOTD would have to approve.”

Chinese Inn, the current occupant of the land parcel sought by Chick-fil-A, has been closed more than five years.

The eatery closed after Hurricane Gustav in 2008.

Durbin does not believe, however, that construction on Chick-fil-A before the start of 2014.

“Another factor here is that national corporations have a set number of stores they build each year, so this one in Denham Springs will most likely be a 2014 construction and opening,” Durbin said.
