For far too many of us, Monday, Jan. 16, will be, at best, just another day off work or school. Few of us will stop to really think about the man who is honored on that day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

According to Keith Egyed of PEC Management, a Burger King franchisee, construction of the new restaurant should be complete and the business open to diners by early to mid September. The restaurant expects to create about 45 new jobs in the area, Egyed said.
