Project description: Jason Pullman and Jeff Hebble are opening their second Zaxby’s chicken restaurant through Zax Properties LLC. The franchisees brought the Georgia-based brand to Springfield in September 2016 on East Sunshine Street. Now, they’re going in on the south side at James River Commons. It will seat 90 and feature a new prototype interior, according to Pullman. They plan to open three more Zaxby’s – the next one at the northwest corner of U.S. Highway 65 and state Highway CC in Ozark.
Missouri State University’s science building, built in 1971 and formerly called Temple Hall, is being reconstructed and updated.
