Township planning officials were notified the restaurant chain no longer intends to build a restaurant this year.
Olive Garden no longer has Chesterfield Township on the menu. The on-again, off-again project is off...again, according to township planning officials. Planning Director Janice Giese said this week she was notified by an architect with the company that the township was removed from the 2013 project list due to "circumstances beyond their control." No further information was given to the township. Construction on an Olive Garden in front of Kohl's on Gratiot and 23 Mile was expected later this year. Township officials were encouraged last month when the business moved forward with signage requests, but said they're disappointed the project fell through. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

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.

Olive Garden has abandoned plans to build a restaurant in front of Kohl's on Gratiot near 23 Mile, according to township officials. But another location could be in the works.
Olive Garden has backed away from previous development plans in Chesterfield, but a restaurant in the community remains on the table. Chesterfield Township Supervisor Michael Lovelock said Monday night the chain no longer intends to build a restaurant in front of Kohl's at Gratiot and 23 Mile Road.

A popular restaurant has cooked up plans to serve Chesterfield Township patrons. Olive Garden is expected to break ground in spring in a plaza on Gratiot near 23 Mile Road, township Planning Director Janice Giese said Thursday. "There's an Olive Garden coming in front of Kohl's," Giese said, adding township officials are excited about the project. "They're building a new building up in front of the parking lot. They are through (Chesterfield Township) Planning Commission approval and they're in engineering now."
