CLEVELAND, Tenn. - General Motors officials joined Don Ledford Automotive Center general manager and partner Debbie Melton this afternoon to unveil a $1.7 million construction project and announce the return of Chevrolet to the Cleveland market.

Two years ago the community rallied around the local dealership when GM was cutting franchises across the country. Hall Chevrolet, the local franchisee then, went out of business.

The new building will feature services customers said they wanted, Melton said.

Ken Borough, Tennessee and Alabama zone manager for Chevrolet, said, "Debbie's done a heck of a job" when asked what saved the GM franchise here and brought back Chevrolet.
