Olive Garden 'Signs' Up Chesterfield Township
The restaurant chain plans to open in front of the Kohl's Department store on Gratiot near 23 Mile Road.
Plans for an Olive Garden restaurant are heating up in Chesterfield Township.
After about a year of anticipating the chain eatery, township officials said Friday that Olive Garden sign requests will go before the planning commission Feb. 12 for approval. The signage submission is for property in front of the Kohl's Department store on Gratiot near 23 Mile, Planning Director Janice Giese said Friday.
No official site plans have been submitted to build in the plaza, but the process could start by fall, Giese said.
Chesterfield Township officials said they were eager for the Italian restaurant to come to town last year, but the business backed off plans soon after. The sign request is for the same location previously eyed for construction.
