A steady stream of Volkswagen Victoria workers, many wearing VW-emblazoned shirts, told council how important the dealership was to them.
The head of the GAIN auto group is crediting staff at Volkswagen Victoria with protecting the viability of the business.
A steady stream of Volkswagen Victoria workers, many wearing VW-emblazoned shirts, told council how important the dealership was to them, how the GAIN group had given them a chance to prove themselves, how important a good-paying job is in an expensive city and how the dealership is more like a family than a business.
He believes many of them were inspired to speak after watching young people address council earlier on Tuesday in support of a new housing project in Gordon Head. The problem was that 3319 Douglas St. was not licenced as a car lot and not among the 14 properties allowed to retain the old zoning. “Our dealership truly is on too small of a footprint to function properly,” he said, of the need to use 3319 Douglas. “So without that lot council would’ve made a decision that we can’t service as many customers, which means we can’t have as many employees and so on.”
Harper said she wants to stay the course on the corridor, and just adding this one piece of land to the list of existing car dealers. “I think the bigger risk is that we could be harming a business that’s currently working and working well,” she said.
