Attn: Mr. Bob Hererra
Dear Mr. Hererra:
Joe Camp, Inc. is currently in the process of expansion. We will be using almost
seven acres of land when we are finished.
Our plans include 101,016 square feet of additional paving and 18,000 square feet
of additional buildings. The project will be around two million dollars. The service
department will over double its size. The body shop will increase in size by one third.
We will have a new showroom, approximately 3,000 square feet. Also a new used
vehicle office facility and pre-delivery center are planned.
After completion of our expansion project, we will be hiring about twenty more
people. As the highway interchange nears completion, we will hire an additional work
force of up to thirty more people. When all is said and done, we will employee between
one hundred and one hundred thirty people in the short term. Our work force is currently
at 75-80.
Many delays have been experienced and we had planned a closing on April 1 st or
2nd. Joe Camp, Inc. would greatly appreciate the approval of an ordinance before this, so
we can finally close the loan and get started.
Thank you very much for all your help.
Sincerely yours,
dEA ~amp
