Carson City Toyota grand opening today
Looks like today is the big day for Dick Campagni's Carson City Toyota. They are opening their new dealership location on South Carson Street today. We'll have more on this event later.
One thing that should be noted is that the much-maligned decision by the city to provide millions in redevelopment funds to Campagni and Michael Hohl to build their new dealerships has provided some much-needed jobs to Carson City at a critical time. How much worse would our local economy be without these projects?
And of course, how much worse off would city coffers be if those new dealerships were being build in Douglas County?
One of the drawbacks of living in a small city is that certain economic players carry a lot of weight. I know there are some people who will never accept the payouts to keep the car dealers here in Carson City, but it really doesn't seem like there was another choice.
I would welcome anyone to disagree with this assessment in the comments.
