The Hastings Planning Commission on Monday night approved the special use permit and site plan for the purchase of the State Street Diner at 1105 West State Street for redevelopment into a car wash.

A new WhiteWater Car Wash will be built at that location. A number of State Street Diner employees attended the public hearing on the issue at Monday's Planning Commission meeting.

Lee Campbell, owner of State Street Diner, told WBCH News it will be most likely May or June before the change is made.
