Local dealer to test adding vehicle service work amid slow sales
Summary
Aaron Kenny, owner of Main Street Motors, told the Marlborough Board of Selectmen he will test adding vehicle service work to his sales operation to help weather slow car sales; he said no additional state permissions were needed and the board asked to avoid a buildup of cars and parts on site.
Aaron Kenny, owner of Main Street Motors, LLC, told the Marlborough Board of Selectmen on March 25 that he plans to test offering vehicle service work at his Main Street location to help sustain the business while car sales remain slow.
Kenny said the decision responds to the town's changing local market and closures of other service businesses. He confirmed to the board that "no additional permissions are needed from the state," and the selectmen urged him to avoid allowing a slow buildup of vehicles and parts on the site after problems with a former tenant.
The board discussed ways to publicize the new service offering, including advertising in the Marlborough Bulletin. Chairman Paight and Selectman Pitt participated in the discussion and expressed the board's interest in preventing long-term accumulation of vehicles on the property.
Kenny left the meeting at 10:15 a.m. The board did not take formal action at the March 25 meeting beyond the advisory comments recorded in the minutes.
