Where Would Raising Cane's Be Located in the Kalamazoo Area?

According to MLive, developers have been working with Raising Canes Chicken Fingers to bring the restaurant to an area at Westnedge and Milham avenues in Portage. A proposal is waiting to be voted on by the Portage City Council which includes plans to demolish two homes in the area which are owned by the developer. The Raising Cane's restaurant would also take up commercial space in that area as well. That space is currently occupied by a Little Ceasar's Pizza and Betty Bella Braids. That space is also owned by the developer.

Some residents in the area have expressed concerns as well as signed a petition to deny the rezoning and demolition of the two homes. Concerns from the residents claim the project would 'destroy the historical integrity' of the neighborhood. There will be no final decisions made by the Portage City Council until after a February 6th public hearing.
