V&amp;H Construction is heading the project.<br \/>Courtesy V&amp;H Construction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By Jennifer Farnsworth<\/p>\n<p>Krystal Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat of Warrensburg broke ground last month on a new facility, located down the road from their current Route 9 space.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Steven Lofgren, a principal of the company, said the new property more than doubles the current space at 4488 Route 9, Warrensburg, and will allow for a larger showroom to better accommodate consumer demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision to build a new facility was fueled by our growing business. New vehicle sale volumes have risen over the past few years due to the increasing popularity of the Jeep and Ram brands. Pre-Owned vehicle sales have doubled for us over the past few years as well,\u201d said Lofgren.<\/p>\n<p>The 21,000-square-foot location will include a sales area, a showroom and administrative offices totalling approximately 9,000 square feet, with service and parts departments taking up about 12,000 square feet. Lofgren said the floor plan will align with the specifications of the vehicle manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span>\u201cIt is a state-of the-art facility, meeting strict criteria that is placed by the manufacturer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>There are separate and exclusive Jeep showrooms adjacent to the Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, and Fiat combined showroom,\u201d said Lofgren.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will be hiring approximately three service technicians and an additional service writer to help with customers. As we move in and get things rolling, there may be a need for more administrative, sales, and auto detail personnel.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>With the help of the expanded facility we can<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>grow our business and continue to thrive off our stellar reputation,\u201d said Lofgren.<\/p>\n<p>He said V&amp;H Construction of Fort Edward is heading the project, which is expected to be completed by May 1. As with many building projects, the pandemic did provide some labor and product availability challenges, however Lofgren said they are now starting to move past that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 caused us to delay the start in 2020. Once economic relief from the federal government to unemployed individuals is relaxed, I believe the area will see more jobs being filled.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It is challenging finding good employees,\u201d said Lofgren.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very proud of the team we have in place now, approximately 42 employees currently. Our dealership has received the prestigious Customer First Award for Excellence from Chrysler for the last six years in a row. Many of our team members have earned awards from the manufacturer as well, \u201c said Lofgren.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more visit www.krystalchryslerjeepdodge.net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jennifer Farnsworth Krystal Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat of Warrensburg broke ground last month on a new facility, located down the road from their current Route 9 space.\u00a0 Steven Lofgren, a principal of the company, said the new property more than doubles the current space at 4488 Route 9, Warrensburg, and will allow for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":34654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 -
