Sonic Drives Toward Construction Amid Financing Hurdles
Sonic remains on track to build after CalTrans imposed a 15 foot right of way restriction and pocketing delays. Franchise owners Scott and Toni McMillan secured a 100000 loan at 9.25 percent for five years through the Business Attraction and Retention program, contingent on reference checks. Demolition has begun on the Sonic property, with faster progress once financing is confirmed. Shafter Motel owners Ivan and Elsie Meyer face demolition or site-planning deadlines within three months. SJAPCD requires asbestos removal before demolition at 337 East Lerdo Highway, with estimates of 29000 and 12722 from A.SA. Inc. and Abateco respectively, following a March 2000 asbestos assessment.
