Community: KeyBank branch to be built at site of KFC

[ED NOTE: The Sentinel asked an open question on this news forum about this KFC location on the 23rd of December]

KeyBank is building a new branch at 6815 N. Lombard Street. This was an operating KFC restaurant until Monday, Dec. 21 when a construction security fence was placed around the lot perimeter. The bank has owned the land on which the restaurant stands since 2004. The KFC building will be demolished, according to a permit issued by the city on Nov. 19 and first filed in August. As of Dec. 29, only an erosion control inspection is needed before final approval and demolition can begin. According to the construction permit, which has also been signed-off pending final review, the new building will be a one story structure with 3,700 square feet interior space.
