Caledon’s Mayor Allan Thompson recently attended a ground-breaking ceremony at a Bolton-based business Pickard Lane Leasing.

The ceremony was held on July 28, and Ward 5 Regional Councillor Annette Groves and Ward 5 Area Councillor Tony Rosa were also in attendance.

The business, which is located at 12500 Highway 50, was celebrating officially beginning the process of constructing its “state-of-the-art” new 13,000 square foot building.

Pickard Lane Leasing is an automotive dealership that sells to individuals, but also does wholesale business. Their current 8,000 square foot facility accommodates a six-car indoor showroom, over 100 import and domestic vehicles, and an automotive finance and warranty department.

Laura Di Sevo, Pickard Lane Leasing’s Human Resources Manager said the business has been planning this new building for a few years.

She said a new, eye-catching building will hopefully draw in more clientele from not just Bolton, but the entire Greater Toronto Area.

Despite pandemic-induced supply chain delays in the construction world, Di Sevo said the company hopes to have their new building open to customers in Spring 2023.

Pickard Lane Leasing was founded by Frank Amerato and his wife Sandra in 1996. Its first office was near Finch and Weston roads, but they soon moved to an office on Dixie Road in Brampton.

After another move within Brampton, they moved to Woodbridge. Finally, in 2008, the business moved to its current location in Bolton as they needed the two-acre plot of land to accommodate its growth.
