Chick-fil-A to tear down previous location, add parking, change drive-thru flow in Grapevine

Chick-fil-A will create a new flow for drive-thru customers and add additional green space at the location at 1235 William D. Tate Ave. in Grapevine.

The Grapevine City Council and planning and zoning commission jointly approved a conditional use permit request from the Georgia-based company at the March 17 meeting.

The gist: The change will involve tearing down the former location, which is situated next to the current one. According to the presentation, there will be additional parking added by combining lots 2 and 3.

According to previous reporting, plans for the current location were approved in 2020. Overall, the William D. Tate Avenue store has been in operation for 33 years.

In a letter written by Kristen Spears, from Little Diversified Architectural Consulting, the change will help maintain safe vehicle flow and reduce the potential for vehicle stacking.

Zooming in: The former Chick-fil-A location will be transitioned to landscaped green space, and 17 parking spaces will be added for a total of 64 spots, according to the presentation.

Texas families now have until March 31 to apply for education savings accounts, judge rules

Texas families now have an additional two weeks to apply for the state’s new education savings account program, a Houston federal judge ruled March 17.

What's happening: U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett ordered the state comptroller’s office to extend the application deadline to March 31 over concerns that no Islamic private schools had been greenlit to accept state ESA funds. In two lawsuits filed in early March, four Muslim parents said they felt deterred from applying for education savings accounts because the Islamic schools they send their children to were not among the 2,200 schools authorized to participate in the program.

Parents previously had until 11:59 p.m. March 17 to apply for the program.

Latest update: In a March 17 news release, the comptroller’s office confirmed that applications would be accepted through March 31 in compliance with the judge’s order.

Over 229,000 students had applied for the $1 billion program as of March 17, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock said. The state will use a need- and income-based lottery system to determine who is accepted.
