The Largo City Commission will look at more ways to encourage redevelopment of West Bay Drive at tonight's commission workshop session.
The Largo City Commission will consider an early sign replacement incentive program for the West Bay Drive area at tonight's workshop session.

The City of Largo and McDonald's worked together to develop plans for a new restaurant, which met community redevelopment guidelines.
McDonald's is working on nationwide improvements to its restaurants. As a part of that effort, McDonald's plans to rebuild its West Bay Drive site.

The city commission approved on April 17 allowing McDonald's to build a one-story restaurant instead of a two-story structure as required by the community redevelopment area guidelines. McDonald's submitted sketches showing a building, which gives a two-story appearance. The building's glass facade will make it look like the restaurant has a second-story.
