Hemet Auto Mall gets upgrade

Hemet Auto Mall has completed a pavement renovation that took 80 working days to complete.

The $2.6 million project, which was marked recently with a grand reopening ceremony, improves access to the facility at the southeast corner of Florida Avenue and Warren Road, according to a statement on the city’s website.

Funding for the project came from several sources, including $1.6 million from the American Rescue Plan Act, $1 million from the city and $141,738 from Measure A, a half-cent sales tax for transportation projects approved by Riverside County voters in 1988 and again in 2002.

“The Hemet Auto Mall is a vital commercial hub for our city, and this rehabilitation project reflects our commitment to infrastructure enhancement and economic growth,” said Mayor Jackie Peterson in the statement. “We encourage everyone to visit our local auto dealerships for their next vehicle purchase.”
