The Village of Batavia will be losing a long-standing standing business Sept. 30. According to a press release the 32 Ford Dealership is one of several of Ford’s dealerships that will be consolidating in an effort to “right size” their dealerships.

The dealership has stood at the end of the state Route 32 exit ramp in Batavia for more than 20 years, just four miles west of the former Ford Transmission Plant which closed in 2008.

“It has been a pleasure to serve the Greater Cincinnati market for the past 20 years,” 32 Ford President Fred Warren said. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees for their dedication to 32 Ford. In addition we certainly would like to extend appreciation to our loyal customers for their continued support throughout the years.”
