Rochester Ford expands, improves downtown curb appeal

The Fulton County Chamber of Commerce staff and board of directors presented the Double I award to Rochester Ford owners John Ringle and Debbie and Monte Hoffman on August 26.

The Double I award is presented to an organization that invests in and improves its location or organization, thus improving the quality of life in Fulton County and surrounding areas. Rochester Ford was nominated for and received this award upon the completion of their sales lot expansion and installation of two electric vehicle charging stations.

Co-owner Debbie Hoffman proudly noted that all work was done by local businesses, including chamber members E&B paving and Newby Services.

Three dilapidated buildings along Main Street were demolished to create space for the new lot with a capacity of over 80 vehicles and two electric vehicle charging stations, which are available to customers.

Chamber Director Jillian Smith thanked the Rochester Ford owners for their investment and contribution to beautifying historic Downtown Rochester.

Rochester Ford is located at 119 East 4th Street, Rochester. They are open Monday-Friday 8am-7pm and Saturday 8am-2pm.
