Mayor Morris says Auto Center is a major source of tax revenue

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (Oct. 25, 2011) — Subaru of San Bernardino’s recent grand opening marked another step in the financial turnaround of the San Bernardino Auto Center.

The event was attended by San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris and several other local elected officials such as State Sen. Bob Dutton, County Supervisor Neil Derry, County Supervisor Josie Gonzales, San Bernardino city councilmen Tobin Brinker, Rikke Van Johnson and Chas Kelley, and San Bernardino city attorney Jim Penman.

Cliff Cummings, owner of the San Bernardino Auto Center, said the opening of the Subaru dealership is a sign that the city, and the auto center is heading in the right direction.

“This auto plaza is on its way back,” Cummings said. “The addition of new dealerships shows the auto center is returning to its place as the commercial hub in San Bernardino.”

He also thanked city officials for their support in helping him get the auto center back up and running.”This is a great example of how the public and private sector can work together to create jobs,” Cummings said.

Morris praised Cummings for his efforts to keep the auto center running and for supporting the local economy. “The Auto Center is the single biggest tax payer for the City’s general fund,” Morris said.
