DeKalb City Council approves $900K Olive Garden loan

DeKALB – Barring any unforeseen bumps in the road, an Olive Garden will be in DeKalb within two years.

The DeKalb City Council gave final approval Monday to loan $900,000 to help chain owner Darden Restaurants build a new Olive Garden at 2211 Sycamore Road.

The agreement that six council members signed off on requires Olive Garden to hire 55 full-time employees within 60 days and be open within in two years or it will have to pay back the remaining balance on the loan.
