(Richmond, IN)--Plans are advancing for a new gas station and convenience store on U.S. 35 across from Love’s just northwest of Richmond.  The combined Speedway and 7-11 has now received five variances from Richmond’s Board of Zoning Appeals.  One of those variances will allow for a sign that rises 75 feet off the ground and will be visible from I-70.  There are also plans for a new stoplight in the area, although that does not fall under the Zoning Board’s jurisdiction.
