McDonald’s at 413 Main Street is planning to demolish its existing building and replace it with new construction with at least double the drive-through lane capacity in the heart of our downtown. Its application will be the subject of a public hearing Monday, October 16 at 8:15 pm, Reading Town Hall, before the Community Planning and Development Commission.  

The letter below, signed by 36 residents and business owners, was sent to several McDonald’s executives and Reading town officials. 

If you support this letter please co-sign it online at this link and consider also sending a brief email with your comments to McDonald’s officials (Rachel Kaprielian, Director of U.S. Government Relations and Troy Faulkner, National Real Estate Lead) and Town officials (Mary Benedetto, Reading Senior Planner and the Reading Select Board), using the following email addresses, which can be cut-and-pasted for this purpose:

Rachel.Kaprielian@us.mcd.com; Troy.Faulkner@us.mcd.com; mbenedetto@ci.reading.ma.us; selectboard@ci.reading.ma.us

Please also consider commenting in person at the October 16 public hearing.
