TOWN OF CLAY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The Clay Town Board denied plans for a proposed McDonald's off Taft Road, after constant pushback from the community.

People in attendance applauded the decision after the Town Supervisor cleared up confusion.

The plan became a hot topic at many past meetings, sparking multiple public discussions and drawing bigger attendance numbers than usual for meetings.

People like Deborah Errante have been waiting for answers since the proposal came about, but now she's breathing a sigh of relief.
