Porsche, Volvo dealership plans OK’d

RIDGELAND — Porsche and Volvo are moving to the suburbs.

A 13,040-square-foot  Porsche dealership is slated for the I-55 frontage road and moved one step closer to becoming a reality following city board approval of the site plans last week.

Mayor Gene F. McGee said he was “excited” to see such a high-quality dealership and attractive facility come to Ridgeland.

Plans for the development show plans for future neighboring dealerships including Volvo. Plans show electric car charging stations and 138 parking spaces, three of which are handicapped.

The dealership expects to employ as many as 16 people.

Aldermen approved the plans 6-0 on the consent agenda. Ward 3 Alderman Kevin Holder was absent.

Previously the item received unanimous approval from the city’s Architectural Review Board.

Carlock Auto Group owns the Porsche and Volvo dealerships and has 24 brands across Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and beyond, according to their website. 

Porsche and Volvo are currently located at 5385 Interstate 55 North Frontage Road in Jackson.
