Project description: This new Auto World of Springfield will replace the company’s 511 S. Ingram Mill Road dealership, according to owner Steve Faria. The business sells late-model, imported luxury cars and sport utility vehicles, Faria said. The new showroom more than triples the current space. In addition to sales, Faria said the business offers reconditioning and detail work for purchased vehicles. Employment will increase at the new facility, though Faria was unsure how many additional employees would be added.
