Resolution is step toward construction project at site of Damentis Restaurant

BUTLER TWP. The township supervisors took action that could lead to the reconstruction of Damentis Restaurant, formerly located along state Route 309. The restaurant was destroyed by fire during the winter of 2014.

Acting on a recommendation by the townships engineering firm, RJD Engineering Inc. of Hazleton, the supervisors Tuesday night gave approval to a resolution stipulating a lot consolidation at the site, consolidating two parcels bounded by South Main Road to the west and North Hunter Highway to the east into one.

Solicitor Don Karpowich said the matter is considered a step in the process of Kevin and Helen McDonald, restaurant owners, to under take a building project.

Neither Kevin nor Helen McDonald were available for comment.
