Historic Preservation Commission Gives OK For McDonald’s Roof Change Plan

With construction on the McDonald’s replacement location in Rutgers Plaza well underway, engineers for the project received on May 7 a thumbs-up to remove branding elements from the current restaurant in Village Plaza.

A representative of the engineering company, Excellence Engineering, appeared before the township Historic Preservation Advisory Commission for its approval of the plan. The Historic Commission’s Certificate of Appropriateness is needed because the current location is within 1,000 feet of the Delaware & Raritan Canal and within the Canal Historic District.
