Commissioner praises dealership expansion

I am writing this letter to congratulate Don Aadsen Ford in Ronan on their acquisition of Ronan Motors. This is a large investment in their continuing goal of providing great products and service to the residents of Lake County and the Mission Valley. Ford, Chevrolet, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep will all be available under one dealer.

A business like this is very important to Lake County for many reasons. They have over 50 employees. That is 50 families buying groceries, gas and clothing. They support our schools, doctors, dentists, insurance businesses and restaurants and support 4-H and donate to other organizations.

They also pay a large property tax bill that funds Ronan police, fire and other city services, Ronan schools, Lake County Sheriff, and more. Don Aadsen Ford plays a very important part in what makes Lake County the amazing place it is.

If you are shopping for a new or used vehicle, give them a chance. They deserve an opportunity to earn your trust and your business. You may end up buying out of the area but at least you gave them an opportunity.

Eric and Gordon, congratulations and good luck! The commitment and contributions you are making to Lake County and its residents are appreciated.

– Lake County Commissioner William D. Barron
