In Dayton, construction on the company’s new Honda dealership is well underway, but it was slowed down a bit by delays on installing telephone lines underground, White said.
But the foundation for the new North Main Street Honda dealership is being poured and remodeling at other Montgomery County White-family stores has been completed or is underway, White said. That remodeling work includes a $1.5 million remodeling project at the company’s European dealership as well as a $1.75 remodeling of White-Allen Chevrolet, also downtown.
Company plans also include tearing down an older body shop on Main near the company’s Honda and Chevrolet stores, and building another body shop, just to the south, on the west side of Main, a $3 million investment.
The new Honda dealership is a $3 million project, and in all, the company expects to spend some $7 million downtown, White said. “That is all still in the works,” he said.
Last year, the company sold 21,000 new and used vehicles, and this year, it expects to sell some 22,500 vehicles, White said.
