The Butler Township Commissioners have approved a plan for a new car dealership and repair facility.
After hearing from a representative for the developer of a new #1 Cochran Automotive on Evans City Road, the commissioners voted to approve the plans that would include a new left turn lane.
This proposal is for the approximately 18 acre former Deshon Woods property between the Memorial Park Cemetery and the Army Reserve. The development would include a 30,000 square foot Ford Dealership relocated from downtown Butler as well as an undetermined second dealership and a 26,000 square foot collision center.
Site preparation work is expected to begin sometime in June pending approval of all permits.
