The village of Lansing is on the verge of welcoming a new Taco Bell restaurant, as plans to demolish the former Pizza Hut at 2301 North Triphammer Road and replace it with the popular Mexican-inspired fast-food chain were discussed at the latest Planning Board meeting.
The proposed site, boasting a prime location adjacent to Route 13, is poised to bring a fresh dining option to the area, keeping the Taco Bell tradition alive alongside its existing Ithaca location.
The new restaurant, as presented by Mike McCracken of Hospitality Restaurant Group, would feature a modern design optimized for post-pandemic dining habits, with a focus on drive-thru service and reduced indoor seating.
Additionally, an outdoor seating area is under consideration, promising a unique dining experience amidst the bustling commercial district. The plan aims to create 30-35 jobs and provide seating for 40 patrons within a 2,650 square-foot space.
