The board voted 8-0 with one abstention to approve the Lidl U.S. Operations application for a 23,481-square-foot grocery store and 1,015-square-foot drive-through restaurant at 651 State Route 18, representing a significant reduction from a previously approved 31,042-square-foot store at the same HC-2 zone location.
