Plans For Restaurant In Bishop On Hold Because Of Septic System Expenses
Blyth and Diana Biggs are seeking community support for their effort to launch a restaurant in the historic center of town.
Plans are on hold for a restaurant in the center of Bishop as the resident of the historic Seymour D. Fambrough house seeks funds for a $75,000 commercial septic system to accommodate the development.
Blyth Biggs, who is living with his family on the second floor of the Victorian-era, Queen Anne style building at 4851 Macon Highway, is seeking community support to finance the required septic system.
Biggs has launched a Go Fund Me campaign through Facebook with plans to open the restaurant in what is being called The Bishop House in August of this year.
Plans call for a small, family-style restaurant on the first floor of the building, which also will be used as an event venue. The rear of the lot, with open lawns and large pecan and oak trees, will be used for outdoor events.
