CONWAY — Two proposals for long-closed local restaurants are in the news this week.
Topping the agenda for the Conway Planning Board’s upcoming March 10 meeting at 6 p.m. is a full site-plan review to demolish the closed Brennan’s House of Pizza in Redstone for a proposed 40-by-70-foot, two-story, 68-seat restaurant at 656 Eastman Road.
