Gardendale Mayor, Stan Hogeland, took the podium today to usher in the groundbreaking of The Crossing at Magnolia, the newest and most ambitious development to date for the Mayor and city leaders as they work to position Gardendale as a destination for national businesses.
Surrounded by city leaders, local business leaders, first responders and developers, Mayor Hogeland was visibly moved and full of joy as he thanked all who had helped make the project possible, especially in light of some rough patches to the development getting off the ground due to COVID issues.
With Longhorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden in place, the next important step will be finding strong retailers to fill the remaining space in the new development.
