Olive Garden coming to south Carson City
At the Carson City Board of Supervisor meeting going on right now, Office of Business Development Director Joe McCarthy announced that a new Olive Garden restaurant will be going into the Southgate Center on South Carson Street.
Olive Garden has agreed to a land lease, conditioned upon the developer of the shopping center filling the other empty stores. On that point, the new Big Lots store will open next month, and Big 5 Sports will be moving into the other space from their current, smaller location on North Carson Street.
Update: The supervisors voted 3-1 to approve 70/30 sales tax rebate with Carson Southgate LLC. Mayor Bob Crowell, while expressing enthusiastic support for the project, voted no because the 70/30 split deviated from the 80/20 split they had done for other businesses in the past. Supervisor Shelly Aldean, whose company has business interests in the center, recused herself and did not participate in the discussion or vote.
More details of the project are included in the attached PowerPoint document.
