Doggett Industries celebrated the groundbreaking of its new $24 million construction and economic development project, Doggett Ford Dealership and Showroom, along with the Houston community and Mayor Sylvester Turner.

Mayor Turner honored the team with a City of Houston Proclamation for Doggett Industries Day during the ceremony for uplifting the City of Houston, providing economic development and continuing to provide great jobs for great people.

Currently operating in temporary buildings, Doggett's Ford dealership is already ranked as one of the fastest-growing Ford dealerships in the U.S. and the fastest growing dealership in Houston.

The newest expansion to the Doggett Auto Group brings a modern Doggett Ford dealership and showroom to the once empty concrete lot that is immediately North of Doggett Industries, enhancing and breathing fresh life to the aging auto row.
