Gateway Helps Bring Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse to Eastfield Crossing

Earlier this month and again this week, Darden Restaurants celebrated the grand openings of two of its brands, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, with ribbon-cutting ceremonies in Selma, North Carolina.

Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse are the latest to invest in the local workforce and contribute to Selma’s growing community. Both restaurants are located within the 435-acre mixed-use development of Eastfield Crossing, where Gateway has played a major role in the engineering design and construction of the overall development, including the Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse projects.

Gateway provided Project Management, Site Civil, Surveying, Landscape Architecture, and Construction Administration services for the projects.
