A groundbreaking ceremony will be held today at 10 a.m. at the new site for JM Jackson Buick-Chevrolet in Sanford.

Owner Johnny Jackson said all residents are welcome to attend the ceremony.

It was announced last year, that the dealership had chosen the Sanford location because of its proximity to its expanded territory.

“Locating in the center of the county is critical for us to be able to serve all of our customers,” Jackson said. “We have customers in parts of Butler, Crenshaw, Coffee and Geneva counties, as well. We have a large area of responsibility. We feel locating centrally is the best thing to do.”
