HOWALD Of the Keizertimes For the last few weeks, ru- mors have swirled about the possibility of a Chick-fi l-A restaurant in Keizer Station. While it may still material- ize, it is far from certain and a map supposedly showing the location being circulated on social media sites doesn’t match up with any in the city’s possession. Keizer Community Devel- opment Director Nate Brown addressed the rumors at a meeting of the Keizer City Council Monday, March 2. “We know that the devel- opers are talking with Chick- fi l-A, but they are in talks with lots and lots and lots of peo- ple,” Brown said. It would take a master plan revision and the issuance of a building permit for the restau- rant’s logo to begin appearing on site maps held by the city. Neither of those things have happened. That doesn’t mean the developers haven’t created mock-ups hoping to entice Chick-fi l-A to Keizer. The area where a resaurant could be placed is being de- veloped by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians with RPS Development.
