The process to build a new restaurant and inn on the waterfront is moving forward. The Kent County News reports on March 4, before a packed room, the Chestertown Historic District Commission voted unanimously to approve the project’s construction, a step that still requires several additional approvals. The vote drew applause from attendees, reflecting enthusiasm in the room for a new waterfront restaurant at the site of the former 98 Cannon Riverside Grille. Architects representing the developer presented their plans to the commission. The presentation marked their second appearance before the panel. At a Jan. 12 meeting, they agreed to demolish the existing structure.
