Espanola council is putting a bylaw in place for approval of a new A&W restaurant in town.
Espanola CAO, Cynthia Townsend, says the proponents appeared before council this week with their site plan in hand for final approval.
She says council reviewed the plan, gave it consent and tabled a motion for a bylaw approving the design.
Originally, the plan was to have the paperwork done so construction could begin this summer, but there were delays.
Townsend says the proponents did not explain the delay and did not present a timeline as to when construction will begin.
Up to 15 new construction jobs will be created with another 40 to 50 new service jobs once the franchise is open.
