Construction Update
The Area’s First Car
Dealership Is Taking Shape
By San Tan Times
Continued from page 1
Construction is well underway for Earn-
hardt Rodeo. With the original expecta-
tions of a mid-2018 opening of the new
facility, the constrcution appears to be
on schedule.
Once completed the dealership will offer
the full array of auto parts and an auto-
mobile service center along with the tra-
ditional sales and lease programs.
Whether you are in the need of a new
car or not, the new dealership does rep-
resents the opportunity for head of
household jobs for the area. Something
that is surely needed. Currently, only
sales positions are listed, as their tempo-
rary location does not offer a parts and
service center. But, as the completion of
the permanent location approaches, ser-
vice techs, mechanics, and other support
staff will be needed.

After advancing the semifinals with a
comeback win over Heritage Mesa, the
ALA Girls Varsity Softball team traveled
to ASU Farrington Stadium this past Sat-
urday to take part in the semifinals match.
It was a great experience for the team but
they came up short with a score of 10-7. It
was an amazing season, and coach Peter
Gammill can’t wait for next year and their
move to the AIA.
